Welcome to The Blue Dory Inn, a charming Victorian-era property and a standout among Block Island hotels and inns. Blending the character of a classic bed and breakfast with modern comforts, our inn offers a relaxed and inviting place to stay on Block Island.
Ideally located at the head of Crescent Beach and just a short walk from the Block Island Ferry, town, shops, and dining, The Blue Dory Inn places you in the heart of one of the island's most desirable areas. Whether you're here to unwind by the beach or explore everything Block Island has to offer, our inn provides a comfortable and convenient home base for your stay.
Guests enjoy thoughtful touches that make each stay memorable, including a complimentary continental breakfast each morning and relaxed afternoon gatherings. Just steps from the beach, it's easy to settle into the slower pace of island life and make the most of your time here.
You may also be greeted by Sunny, our friendly resident cat, who is very much a part of the inn's charm, and well known to locals and visitors alike.
