Attraction

Kayaking Great Salt Pond

Block Island, RI

Right in the center of Block Island, the Great Salt Pond is an area readymade for kayaking, with flat water surrounded by salt marsh and estuaries perfect for bird and wildlife sightings. Pond and Beyond offer 2.5-hour tours of the scenery led by knowledgeable guides for families with children 12 and up. The organization is just as committed to getting younger kids out on the water, however, with special paddles for kids ages 6 and up on weekend mornings and Monday afternoons in summer.
