Shelter Island's Unique Character and Isolation
Shelter Island stands out as a unique and secluded destination, accessible exclusively by short ferry rides. Unlike other areas in the East End, Shelter Island remains less congested and maintains a primarily residential character. The island's charm lies in its seclusion, with a lower-key atmosphere compared to the South Fork, making it a peaceful retreat for its residents. The absence of commercial festivals and vineyards adds to its residential and tranquil vibe.
