Why Live in Shelter Island

Shelter Island in Long Island is a 20-square-mile community accessible only by ferry, fostering a close-knit atmosphere where everyone knows each other. The island is surrounded by water, featuring beaches like Sunset Beach, which are popular for swimming, kayaking, and boating without the worry of big waves. One-third of the island is preserved by the Nature Conservancy, with Mashomack Preserve offering 2,000 acres of woods, marshes, bays, and hiking trails. Wildlife, including deer and over 200 species of birds, can be found here. Golfers frequent the Shelter Island Country Club and Gardiner’s Bay Country Club, while boaters often join the Shelter Island Yacht Club. Homes typically have spacious yards and range from Colonials with wood shingles to modern-style houses. The crime rate is lower than the national average, contributing to a peaceful environment. Shelter Island School, serving kindergarten through 12th grade, has a high rating and a low student-teacher ratio. The dining scene is vibrant, especially in summer, with popular spots like Stars Café, Vine Street Café, and SALT Waterfront Bar & Grill. Essential services include a grocery store, fish markets, and a seasonal farmers market, though there is no hospital on the island. Accessibility can be challenging due to reliance on ferries and the lack of mail delivery and garbage pickup. The South Ferry connects residents to the North and South Fork of Long Island, with further travel options to New York City.
