Drone Footage of The Block Island Southeast Lighthouse | Block Island, Rhode Island
Block Island Southeast Lighthouse is one of the most visually striking lighthouses in the United States. Though the tower is relatively short, its flashing green light shines forth over 200 feet above the water due its elevated location atop Mohegan Bluffs.

The 2,000 ton structure is moved 300 feet in an effort to save it from the ongoing erosion of the bluffs along the coast of Rhode Island.

Mohegan Bluffs New Shoreham RI
The Mohegan Bluffs are large clay cliffs about 150 feet (46 m) high, located on the southern shore of Block Island. They got their name because the battle of the Niantic and the Mohegan took place here in the mid 16th century. The battle was over supremacy of the island, and the intruding Mohegans were forced over the cliffs to their death by the native Niantic.
These cliffs are a beautiful site, and can be observed from the top, where visitors can look out for miles on the Atlantic Ocean or visitors can climb down the steep staircase of over 100 steps and view them from the beach

Block Island Rhode Island
Block Island is part of the State of Rhode Island about 13 miles from the coast in the Atlantic ocean.
With a population of under 1500 Block Island is small - about 5 miles with one town, New Shoreman. Getting around by bicycle or moped is of the best ways to see the island. There are lots of ponds within the island and good hiking, fishing and two large beaches - one, Crescent beach considered to be one of the finest beaches in the US.
There are two historic lighthouses on Block Island. The Southeast Lighthouse was was built in 1873. Because of bluff erosion, the lighthouse was moved in 1993 three hundred feet. The lighthouse also has a museum where you can see the original Fresnel lens.
Ferry service from the mainland arrives in New Shoreman and the harbor has a number of popular fish restaurants including Fins, that specializes in local seafood. The owner, I was told, has his own lobster traps and they serve, among some of their shellfish, Quahogs a hard shell clam that is also the fictional name of the town where Family Guy is set.
Other treats on Block Island can be found at The Ice Cream Place where homemade flavors are scooped out and served in cones. Including some nice takes of familiar passions like Almond Joy, Cake batter and Maple Walnut. There are also historic photos of Block Island on the walls to entertain you as you lick away.
The Oar restaurant at the new harbor which opened in 1965. There are over 900 painted and autographed oars along the ceiling and the walls of The Oar Restaurant and the only requirement is that the oar you give them does not contain obscene words.
The only words I can come up with for Block Island is a superb getaway -- and a bit of paradise lost.

Mohegan Bluffs stairway
On a perfect summer-like day with temperatures in the high 70s The Block Island Times took a journey down the 140 wooden steps that comprise the Mohegan Bluffs stairway. Under the direction of Gov. Gina Raimondo, the Department of Environmental Management and the Town of New Shoreham's Highways Department, refurbished the treacherous sandy bottom section of the descent after Raimondo visited the bluffs in August of 2015.
The stairs descend 100-feet to a wooden platform, which provides for a scenic view of the shoreline and the Block Island Wind Farm located about three miles off of the coastline. For more info about the bluffs and its refurbishment go to:
