Block Island Trip

Posted on March 24, 2011May 1, 2011 by Coni Dubois

For June 26th – Block Island Trip I will be making plans to be at the Lighthouse Inn on June 25th – We will be taking the Point Judith Ferry to the Island (getting times and dates together) on the 26th~ Info on Inn: Across from the Block Island Ferry, the Lighthouse Inn is a fun, casual Beach Hotel located in an authentic fishing village of Galilee, RI. It’s the perfect Location to relax and enjoy southern Rhode Island! Great beaches, seafood houses, riverboat cruises, fishing charters, the Pt. Judith salt pond, ice cream and gift shops, local pubs with live music and plenty of sea air, seagulls and sunshine are waiting for you at the Lighthouse Inn of Galilee. Lighthouse Inn of Galilee:307 Great Island Road Narragansett, Rhode Island 02882

Note from Coni: I do believe we should try for the 7:15 am trip to the Island – gives us more time and we will leave at the 7:45 departure and we will be staying at Lighthouse Inn for the 25 and 26th – Head to Long Island for the 27th~

I checked on the reservation for this Inn – truly the only one to be at due to being right across from Ferry – stayed there last year and was an ok place (ALOT of seagulls thou cars have to be washed) wonderful couple was running it and was truly a pleasant visit~
The price of the stay as of right now is Sat $169.99 for double bed room and for Sunday$119.00 with taxes and such total came to $325.44 for both nights – I will be on my own so can bunk up with a couple of women and we can split the cost~
For round trip tickets for Ferry is $35.85
