Sheffield Island Lighthouse Tour
May 28 September 25, 2011 (excluding September 10 & 11)
Saturdays and Sundays, 11 a.m., 2 p.m. & 3:30 p.m.

Sheffield Island, with its historic lighthouse, beaches, and wildlife refuge, offers abundant summer fun for visitors. Board the brand new 45-foot CJ Toth Quest ferry for a cruise to the island. Then tour the lighthouse, observe wildlife in their natural habitat, hunt for shells along the beach, dine on a picnic lunch, play on the lawns around the lighthouse, and just have a good time. The lighthouse tower provides magnificent views of Long Island Sound and, on a clear day, of the New York City skyline.
