Shelter Island is a small island 90 miles from Manhattan on the Eastern end of Long Island. It is ONLY accessible by ferry from either the North or South forks of Long Island.

You may take the South Ferry from Sag Harbor, or the North Ferry from Greenport. Reservations for the ferry are not necessary as the ferry runs every 10-15 minutes to the island. You will buy a one-way ticket for about $15, CASH ONLY.

The North Ferry runs between Greenport, NY and Shelter Island. In the fall, the last boat to Greenport is at 11:45pm.

The South Ferry runs between North Haven, NY and Shelter Island. In the fall, the last boat to North Haven is at 12:00am. http://www.southferry.com

We recommend finding accommodations on the island so you don't have to worry about catching the ferry back to either the North Fork or the South Fork at the end of the night.
