Shelter Island guide: Restaurants, hotels, things to do

As befits a place that’s offered regular ferry service from Long Island proper since 1846, Shelter Island has a particularly intimate relationship with its two cross-Sound conveyances. There’s the North Ferry, which runs from Greenport to Shelter’s North Shore, and the South, which travels from North Haven in Sag Harbor to Shelter’s south shore. The ferries are run by different companies, cost different amounts and travel different distances — 1.1 miles for North, 0.4 miles for South. Still, nothing’s more different about them than the visitors they transport to Shelter and the expectations they lug with them. #newyork #travel #ferry Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3jLQjUN Subscribe to Newsday.com: newsday.com/socialoffer ~ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA ~ @newsday on Facebook, Instagram and X. @newsday.tv on TikTok
