Famous for its effortlessly cool atmosphere, Sunset Beach has become a beloved gathering spot for longtime island devotees and stylish visitors alike. The menu draws inspiration from the French Riviera and the fresh bounty of Long Island’s waters, featuring refined seafood, French-inspired dishes, and inventive cocktails served against a backdrop of glittering water and painted skies.

Just minutes from the South Ferry, it’s the perfect first stop on any Shelter Island visit.
