Learn more about Shelter Island

Between the North and South Forks of Long Island, this ferry-accessible haven offers a quieter alternative to Hamptons glitz. Wade into the gentle surf at Crescent Beach or spread a towel at Sunset Beach, where the day's end brings spectacular skies. The Mashomack Preserve invites exploration with trails winding through 2,000 acres of pristine woodlands and tidal creeks. History buffs can discover island lore at the Shelter Island Historical Society's Havens House. Shell Beach provides perfect shell-hunting opportunities away from crowds. For the full experience, rent a bicycle – the island's modest size makes two wheels the ideal way to discover hidden coves and charming corners that weekend warriors from Manhattan haven't yet claimed.
