A few days ago I had the opportunity to check out Shelter Island, New York (Suffolk County). This place has been on my bucket list for a while but i never got around to it.
We arrived with car to board the North Fork ferry which is out of Greenport. The ferry is drive on and runs every 15-20 minutes. It’s a quick ferry ride and you arrive on Shelter Island.
Shelter Island feels very much like an older New England town. Quaint houses and boutiques are found everywhere. The island feels like it runs at a much slower pace and you can easily forget you’re still in Suffolk County. Upon researching, I discovered the island has about 2,000 year long residents. While I’ve never seen it, I imagine it must be beautiful in the snow.
If you have kids, there’s plenty of things that you can do including many nature walks/ hikes and even an interactive farm that is fun to explore for the whole family. Come check out and discover this hidden gem of a town and allow yourself to be transported away to Shelter Island.
