If you’re hoping to bump into a celebrity, look elsewhere.

There are no nattily dressed 40-somethings clinking wine glasses on a Shelter Island beach in glossy magazine photos. The island doesn’t have any shouty ad campaigns.

$15 each way from Sag Harbor ($20 same day round trip). $12 each way with car from Greenport ($18 same day round trip). It’s the only way to get on/off the island. To/From Greenport NY ( North Ferry) or Sag Harbor NY ( South Ferry). Shelter Island is, in effect, a getaway from a getaway. How do you get to Shelter Island? It’s accessible only via 10-minute car ferries from either Sag Harbor or Greenport, NY. Shelter Island is lodged in the Bay, right between the forks. The Peconic Bay separates the North Fork (wineries) from the South Fork (Hamptons). WHY GO: Where is Shelter Island NY? Picture the two prongs of land at the Eastern end of Long Island NY as the letter V.
