Once you're done with lunch, head over to Crescent Beach or Shell Beach for some good old tanning time. Some say that Crescent Beach is the best beach to have a party, while Shell Beach is the best beach for some peace and quiet. Crescent Beach is over a half a mile long and is the island's most popular beach. It has a fantastic view of Southold and Greenport, and is the home of several restaurants and hotels, which is perfect for enjoying a nice cocktail on the beach. Shell Beach overlooks West Neck Harbor, the Shelter Island Sound and the Peconics. This beach is a half a mile long and located on a long peninsula with a dirt road. It is usually less crowded than Crescent Beach. Make sure you get a parking pass before heading over to any beach on the island!
