About Shelter Island

Shelter Island sits between the North and South Forks of eastern Long Island, and no bridge reaches it. Two car ferries make the crossing: the North Ferry from Greenport on the North Fork, and the South Ferry from North Haven on the South Fork. The town has two post offices, Shelter Island (11964) and Shelter Island Heights (11965).

A large part of the island is protected land. The Nature Conservancy’s Mashomack Preserve covers more than 2,350 acres of tidal creeks, oak woodland, fields and freshwater marsh, edged by 11 miles of coastline.
