Fishers Island Sound & the East End

Where Long Island Sound opens to the ocean, the water tightens into Fishers Island Sound and the Peconic estuary — a cruising ground of strong currents, rocky ledges, and some of the most protected anchorages on the coast.

From the fishing-fleet borough of Stonington and the drawbridge town of Mystic across to Shelter Island's landlocked Coecles Harbor and the Hamptons' harbor towns, this is a region of short hops between very different worlds. Mind the current off Watch Hill and The Race; the rewards are quiet holes and lively town fronts within a few miles of each other.
