Just off the eastern edge of Long Island sits a much smaller island: Shelter Island. Part of Suffolk County, despite being separated by the rest of the county by water, Shelter Island is home to just over 2,400 people.

It's a beautiful and unique place with a lot of interesting history and stories to tell.

Shelter Island has been a popular coastal retreat for many years, offering a wonderful way to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy all the advantages of being on a quiet, calm, charming island location.

In addition to its calming atmosphere and beautiful scenery, the island has grown and evolved over time to a point where it can now boast of many highly rated eateries, shops, accommodation options, and more.

Whether you're looking to eat, sleep, work, or play on Shelter Island, you'll be guaranteed a great time. If you decide to spend the night, the Shelter Island House offers beautiful rooms.
