Testimonials

One of the most appealing aspects of the Island is that its remote location makes any visit there feel like a getaway- it’s an escape from the hustle of the city and has a personality of its own. There are enough activities to entertain even the most dynamic of visitors, though at the same time it offers the relaxing atmosphere of an exotic beach - as soon as one sets foot on the island it feels like vacation time. The Victorian character of the houses on the island put you back into Colonial Times and almost make you feel part of a movie. The stunning views over Lower Manhattan remind you that the big city is just across the river. I would recommend the Water Taxi Beach to tourists and locals alike - it is an unforgettable experience that makes you want to keep going back for more. J
