The Surf at Block Island Beach House offers the only beachfront hotel rooms-some with private balconies-on the island. An easygoing open lounge welcomes guests and neighbors to grab a drink, linger over a snack or meal, or browse beach essentials, vintage-inspired goods, and locally-made gifts. A brand-new addition to our Block Island portfolio, The Gables buildings across the street from The Surf have their own unique history. Formerly The Gables Inn, the property's spectacular location, great bones, and long history of welcoming families and travelers to the Block made it a great fit to join our fray.
