Old Harbor Historic District
About
Old Harbor Historic District, on Block Island, is a historic waterfront area in New Shoreham where first-time visitors can expect a compact district of streets and harbour frontage to wander on foot. The district sits at 150 Water St, New Shoreham, RI 02807, United States, placing it in the heart of the island's main settlement.
Visitors have given Old Harbor Historic District a 4.6 out of 5 average from 14 reviews, a small but positive record. The district's waterfront setting puts it close to Old Harbor itself, with New Harbor, Block Island Town and Corn Neck Road among the nearby places that frame a visit. Mohegan Bluffs, Cooneymus, Paynes Dock and Ballards Beach also sit within the surrounding area, so a stop here fits naturally into a wider circuit of the island.
A website at http://www.blockislandtimes.com/ accompanies the listing, alongside the street address. The district occupies a position on Block Island in the United States, anchoring it in the New England group of islands rather than in tropical or subtropical waters.
Reaching the district from the main resorts and towns is straightforward, since ferries, small airports and, in Hawaii, frequent inter-island flights serve US islands, and Block Island's compact scale keeps the harbour area within easy reach of the island's settlements. Seafood dominates island menus, with Maine lobster, Florida stone crab, and ahi and mahi-mahi in Hawaii, so a meal of local catch is a natural part of a day here. English is the main language, which makes routine exchanges simple for most travellers.
