Along the coast
Almanac Fire Island The west pole — Great South Bay at Seaview. Barefoot, car-free, the beachhead. Almanac Montauk The End — first light on the continent, the sportfishing capital of the Northeast. 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.
