Is there any better way to spend a New England summer than with salt in the air, sand between your toes, and a boat docked just steps from your room? At Champlin’s Marina & Resort, located on beautiful Block Island, the pace slows, the sun shines a little brighter, and each day brings a new adventure by land or sea.
Block Island Boating at Its Best
Boaters know Block Island as one of the best summer boating destinations in New England, and for good reason. Nestled in a protected harbor, Champlin’s Marina offers over 4,500 linear feet of dock space, making it one of the largest and most accessible marinas on the island. Docking at Champlin’s gives you direct access to the island’s best experiences, regardless of whether you’re arriving for a weekend getaway or anchoring for the season.
You can cruise in, tie up, and start enjoying island life right away. Spend your days exploring scenic coastlines, fishing off your boat, or grabbing a paddleboard to float across calm harbor waters. Unwind in the evenings with live music and a waterfront sunset.
Beach Days on Block Island
Of course, it’s not all about the watercraft. Block Island beach days are a tradition in their own right. Just a short walk or bike ride from Champlin’s, you’ll find miles of unspoiled coastline to explore. Crescent Beach, Mansion Beach, and Ballard’s Beach each offer a unique vibe.
Back at the resort, Champlin’s makes it easy to keep the summer energy going. Grab lunch from one of the on-site eateries, lounge by the pool with a view of the marina, or cool off with one of our infamous mudslides that can be flavored in countless ways with or without alcohol.
Historic Charm with a Modern Twist
At Champlin’s, every stay is a story. The resort’s accommodations are tucked into reimagined historic buildings, many of which date back to the early 1900s. While the structures maintain their vintage appeal, the interiors have been thoughtfully updated with modern amenities and coastal-chic design. Even better? There's a space to suit every style. From breezy waterfront rooms to cozy suites that reflect the island's laid-back charm, the hotel is perfect whether you're traveling solo, with family, or with a group of friends.
