What's New on Shelter Island and Long Island's North Fork This Summer

"The island’s iconic resort, The Pridwin Hotel and Cottages, reopened last July after its own extensive two-year restoration. The property’s full facelift gave the vintage hotel a spirited overhaul while maintaining its spirit of the good old days—it now has a luxe summer camp feel tinged with Dirty Dancing nostalgia. Situated along Crescent Beach overlooking the Peconic Bay, the waterfront hotel is made up of 33 expanded guest rooms and 16 private cottages, complete with warming fireplaces, on almost 10 acres of property. The main house features a full-service spa, a restaurant offering indoor and outdoor dining, and lots of attractive spaces to convene with family and friends. Tennis, yoga on the lawn, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding will keep you busy—or, if busyness is what you’re trying to escape, let attendants pamper you at the beach-view pool. Plus, weekly cookouts and s’mores over the campfire add to the summertime vibe. But the fun here isn’t reserved just for the warmer months. The 96-year-old property will be celebrating its second holiday season this winter with decked-out halls and a calendar full of festive cheer."
