One of the trips I always wanted to do is explore beautiful LI, NY shores. Since I’d like to explore both sides of the island (south and north shores) I’ll call it “The Long Island Loop”. Coming from Jersey shore I’m thinking that it most logical to explore south shores first (traveling from west to east after reaching the LI south shore), then make my way over to the north side of the island, via Shinnecock Canal, and continue my way from east to west on the LI sound side. At this time I think that making total of 4 stops, spending about 1.5 days at each stop, and completing the trip in about a week or so would look like comfortable itinerary. As the first stop I’m looking at Fire Island, which from what I hear is pretty inviting place. Thus, I need to choose another 3 (1 on south shore and 2 on north shore) interesting stops to complete my LI loop.
I know we have good number of members from LI area. I would appreciate any suggestion regarding what towns and marinas to pick for my subsequent stops. If you could also suggest some details on things to do on shore and navigation tips that would be great.
Thanks,
Alex.
