Fisher Island is a truly exclusive place to visit, unless you're a service or construction worker.
We were invited by a friend of a friend who's lived here for 25 years! One MUST be on the visitor's list to gain passage on the Fisher Island ferry and then have a resident escorted one around. We visited with our adult children, sister, and niece/ nephew. Given that it was mid-summer and hotter than usual, most residents were absent at this time of year.
Our resident toured us about in 2 golf carts, the expected transportation mode, and showed us detailed walkthroughs of various sites including the Vanderbilt Mansion, Spa Internazionale, the Beach Club, the marinas, and local residencies.
Our host's home, like most homes here, was elegant and extravagant and very neat and clean.
We enjoyed a terrific lunch at the Beach Club and biked or beached in the scorching sun most of the day.
Sadly, getting here is unlikely for most folks, enjoy the photos attached and ask questions if you dare.
