Location

About Shelter Island

Shelter Island is a tranquil, 8,000-acre island town at the eastern end of Long Island, New York. It lies between the North and South Forks and is accessible only by ferry, from Greenport to the north and North Haven (near Sag Harbor) to the south. It is the low-key alternative to its glitzy neighbors, with about 3,250 residents and no traffic lights.

Nearly one-third of the island is preserved by the Nature Conservancy at the Mashomack Preserve, with 11 miles of coastline and many hiking trails. Shelter Island Heights is a historic district known for its 19th-century Victorian cottages. Popular activities include kayaking, cycling, and visiting beaches such as Crescent Beach and Wades Beach.

Free pick-up by the club

The club picks you up at JFK for free and drives you to the island. Send your flight details early so the pick-up can be planned. The ride back to JFK at the end is free too.
