“Ballard's Beach Resort enjoys a prime location steps from the Block Island ferry and boasts its own private beach, complete with multiple bars and dining options; the sunset dinner specials alone might justify a stay. While rooms are clean and generously sized for a beach resort, booking in advance is essential, as accommodations are limited. Ultimately, this resort offers a complete beach experience.”
