This live camera looks out over Block Island, a small island about 16 km off the coast of Rhode Island. Watch the view as it updates in real time to see the island's shoreline, sky and sea conditions before you plan a trip.
About the island
Block Island sits in the Atlantic south of Rhode Island and is reached by ferry from the mainland. It is known for its low bluffs, dunes, freshwater ponds and wildlife refuges, and for a quiet pace that changes sharply in summer. The island is small enough that most of it can be explored on foot or by bicycle, and its landscape is shaped by open water on every side.
What to watch and when
The camera is most rewarding in the morning and late afternoon, when light falls low over the water and the coastline is easiest to read. Clear days show the horizon clearly, while changing clouds and wind can make the sea look very different from one hour to the next. Summer brings the most activity to the harbour area, and autumn and winter views are usually calmer and emptier.
Practical notes and nearby views
Summers are mild and sunny, while winters are cold, windy and quieter, with ferries running less often. Ferries and small aircraft are the usual ways to arrive, so check schedules before you travel. If you want to see more of the coast, the nearby cameras include the North Lighthouse seal area on Block Island and the Montauk views across the water in New York.
