The family found nothing to do on the island. That part was disappointing. Trouble with parking. That may or may not have changed. KIds had never been on a ferry so that was a highlight for as long as it lasted. I recall it being pricy. -- what isn't now a days?

Took about an hour, and was lots of fun on a beautiful July day. Had a snack at the snack bar, but wished there was more food to buy. Nonetheless, the scenery was lovely right on the Long Island Sound, The boat ride back was equally enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon on Sheffield Island! The ferry ride to the island was smooth, relaxing and interesting, as one of the crew members pointed out the landmark sights along the way and was extremely knowledgeable - we even saw egret nests! We had never been to Sheffield Island before, so we're amazed at the bygone beauty of it's... More

Scenic boat ride from the dock to the Island. Don't miss out on the Thursday night clambakes. Great menu choices at a good price and the food is excellent.
