Mohegan Bluffs

The 200-foot bluffs are stunning against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. They form the quintessential picture of the craggy New England coastline. The name comes from a Native American battle that occurred in 1590 between the Mohegan and Manissean tribes. Apparently, the Mohegans, guilty of a raiding attempt, were driven to their deaths on the rocky shores below. The bluffs are also part of the Block Island Bicycle Tour.
