So Close, Yet So far
Mar 15 2007, 12:22 PM EDT A terrific summer long weekend to escape the maddening crowds of New York is to head to Shelter Island on the East End of Long Island. While is sits right next to the trendy and crowded Hamptons scene, the 3 minute ferry ride required to get on the Island makes it a world away. Once there you will be forced to slow down to the pace of the locals, many who descended from countless generations of residents. Stay at the tres chic Sunset Beach Resort and have the beach right across the street or chose something a little more traditional like the historic Chequit Inn in the old harbor town of Shelter Island Heights. A recent spat of new restaurants has reinvigorated the dining scene on the Island. Other fun activities include biking through the islands relatively empty roads. You will quickly forget the worries of your job once you get on the ferry and leave the rest of the world behind. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
