Long
Island is served by two year-round ferry lines that cross Long
Island Sound and connect Port Jefferson to Bridgeport,
Connecticut and Orient Point to New London,
Connecticut.
Sometimes
getting there is half the fun. A ferry trip is transportation
as well as an enjoyable boat ride. And if you want to visit
the Long Island resort communities
on Fire Island, where no cars are allowed, the only way is in
to take one of the six passenger ferry routes.
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
