The largest major airport to access Shelter Island is JFK Airpot. LaGuardia (LGA) will also have flight options. Drive times to Shelter Island will be between 2.5 - 3 hours. The closest commercial alternate airport is Long Island MacArthur (ISP) and is about a 1 hour drive. If departing from the Northeast (i.e., Boston or CT), the Cross Sound Ferry offers passenger and vehicle transportation between New London, CT and Orient Point, NY. Driving / renting a car to the island will be the easiest. Public transportation is conveniently offered by the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) or the Hampton Jitney to Greenport. Both options bring you right to the ferry dock. Ferry service to Shelter Island is available from both the North Fork via Greenport and the South Fork via Sag Harbor. There are no reservations for the ferry. Vehicular (and pedestrian) traffic is boarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. Cars and bicycles pay on board. Both ferries are cash only. For ferry schedules, visit NorthFerry.com, SouthFerry.com, or www.longislandferry.com Please note that once on the island, Uber/Lyft is non-existent. Instead, there is the Shelter Island Taxi Service. It has only a few cars, so please be patient! They can be reached at 631.210.6677
