Why you'd want to live in Shelter Island

Shelter Island, which sits between the North and South forks of Long Island, can only be reached by boat or a short car ferry ride at each end, a quirk that’s helped preserve its lush, unhurried feel. The island has just one supermarket and one gas station to serve its 2,400 year-round residents, and the lone drug store still has a no-frills lunch counter tucked to one side. But if you know where to look, more happens on Shelter Island than meets the eye.
