At the northern end of Block Island you’ll find this granite marker on a pretty spit of land between Sachem Pond and Cow Cove, at the end of Corn Neck Road. The monument lists the names of the island’s original English settlers and marks the spot where they first landed in 1661 (with their cows swimming to shore). Here, visitors can leave their bikes or cars and begin the sandy hike to the distant North Light.
