Fishers Island is a 9 mile x 1 mile island, close to the tip of Long Island in NY state.
It is not a popular tourist place. In fact, the locals are not keen on attracting tourism. There is only one hotel, one grocery store, and a couple of take-away food shops. There is no taxi service, and no bus service. However, there is an airport right next to a beach, which got my attention.
We packed up our food, towels, and headed off to Elizabeth Field at Fishers Island. Its about 1 hour from Beverly in club Cessna 172EF.
The airport had almost no traffic, and I had no difficulty finding the large airport on a small Island.
See the
Video of Landings at Elizabeth Field.
We were surprised to find that there was a lady attending the airport (we paid our landing fee of $10). She also offered us bikes for $10 per bike per day. We decided to just relax on the beach instead.
The beach is right next to the runway, and it was pretty deserted. We walked across the runway to the beach, and relaxed for several hours in hot sunny weather, on white sand, and in complete privacy on a public beach.
Kids threw some rocks in the water, and made sand castles.
It was a very relaxing one day trip.
