Dering Harbor
Dering Harbor is a tiny, tucked-away anchorage on the western shore of Shelter Island, one of the smallest incorporated villages in New York State with fewer than 50 residents. You drop anchor here and find yourself in remarkably quiet waters, sheltered from the bustle of the Hamptons just across the bay. It's a rare slice of old Long Island, with wooded shorelines and grand historic estates visible from the water.
