Shorecrest Bed and Breakfast, a ‘Four Square’ Victorian mansion sits proudly on a beautifully landscaped acre, atop a crest of land overlooking the Long Island Sound to the North and the ‘Ashamamoque Pond’, an inlet of Shelter Bay to the South.
Shorecrest is also ideally located for golfers, being only a short drive from the famous Island’s End golf course, as well as for more general interest visitors. High on the list of places to visit is the nearby historic maritime village of Greenport, with its wealth of unique shops, antiquing opportunities, tall ships in the harbor for cruising the bays, many 5 star rated restaurants, wine bars and tasting rooms plus a myriad variety of entertainments and other activities. The five villages on the south road between Riverhead and Southold, besides their obvious scenic beauty, offer too a wealth of activities from historic sights, museums and even an observatory taking advantage of how dark the night skies are out here, to farm stands with the freshest produce (you can even pick your own), antiques stores, boutiques and excellent eateries.
In addition Shorecrest is the perfect place to stay for those visiting the many wineries in the area or wanting to explore the South Fork as well as the North. Ferries leave from Green port to Shelter Island and Sag Harbor, a skip and a jump from the Hamptons and Montauk, on a frequent hourly schedule. Proximity to the Orient Point Cross Island ferry also makes Shorecrest a favorite for travelers on the North East corridor from Maine, Cape Cod, Boston and Rhode Island to Connecticut.
