Mohegan Bluffs, Block Island

The Mohegan Bluffs are massive clay cliffs on Block Island's southern side that are roughly 150 feet high. The Niantic and Mohegan war took place here in the mid-16th century, giving them their name. The battle was for control of the island, and the local Niantic pushed the encroaching Mohegans over the cliffs to their deaths.

Mohegan Bluffs, on Block Island's southern side, is a scenic spot with towering 150-foot cliffs. This is a nice little trek since you can climb the cliffs and gaze out over the Atlantic Ocean for kilometers. Before sunrise and before sunset are the most popular times to visit Mohegan Bluffs. You are welcome to bring your dog along for company; it is a wonderful location for your four-legged companion. Before you go to the bluffs, you'll pass by the lighthouse, which is a historically significant spot to stop and snap photos.
