Breath taking views. Wide, well groomed hiking trails. Beautiful fields, woods, cliff walk. Loved it.

We stopped after biking all over Block Island and were looking for a quite spot to sit for a bit. This was it. The beach was scenic and not crowded. We didn't walk the trail (tired legs) but it sure looked nice ,was longer than I realized. A destination for another visit.

Peaceful place to hike. We went in a cloudy/misty/foggy morning with little wind. Saw and heard lots of birds (for example, Spotted Towhees, Song Sparrows, Yellow Warblers, Great Egret, Common Yellowthroats, ducks, geese and gulls. The gulls soared along the edge of the bluffs & could easily be seen from the trail.

Our favorite nature trail on Block Island!! We just discovered this spot today and what a special place it is.. We read that it was difficult to find because there aren’t any signs on the road, but that’s exactly why it’s so private and serene.. Once you find Clay Head Road just take it straight to the end.. You’ll find a small dirt parking area, and from there the entrance to the trail is clearly marked.. The area is clean and well kept, with the main trails regularly mowed.. It’s a short walk down to the beach from the parker my area (it took us maybe 10 or 15 minutes with 2 children).. The shore and the views are absolutely spectacular.. We watched the Connecticut ferries coming and going while we played on the beach and made balancing rock sculptures.. We saw less than 10 other people the entire time.. What a lovely way to spend one of our last day on the island.. We’ll definitely be coming back to Clay Head tomorrow, and again on our next trip!!
