Along the coast
Almanac Fire Island The west pole — Great South Bay at Seaview. Barefoot, car-free, the beachhead. Almanac The Hamptons Shinnecock Inlet — the ocean gate where the coast starts to climb east. Almanac The North Fork Greenport — the quieter arm. Farmland, vineyards, working harbors. Almanac Shelter Island Held between the two forks — ferry-only, the water on every side.
