Ferries
Long Island is served by two year-round ferry lines that cross the Long Island Sound and connect Port Jefferson to Bridgeport, Connecticut and Orient Point to New London, Connecticut. Sometimes getting here is half the fun and a ferry trip is an enjoyable boat ride as well as transportation. And if you want to visit the Long Island resort communities on Fire Island where no cars are allowed, the only way in is to take one of the six passenger ferry routes.
Also, you can get from the North Fork to the South Fork of Long Island through Shelter Island using two short ferry rides. All Long Island ferries are listed below - call for current schedules and rates.
