We used the town mooring on our way south in September. Great staff, exceptional dinghy dock (best we’ve seen). Lot’s to do on block island. We’ll be back.

Large mooring field in a gorgeous setting, with easy access to two dinghy docks, one in front of The Oar restaurant, and a nice new one over by Dead Eye Dick's. Water available attached to a piling just south of the new dinghy dock near the boat ramp.
New Harbor mooring field gets completely filled up during peak season on the weekends, and beware the obnoxiously loud music from Champlin's Marina.
