How To Get Here

Train

By Long Island Rail Road from Penn Station, it takes about 80 minutes to Bay Shore. Trains leave Penn Station frequently for Bay Shore, with connections at either Babylon or Jamaica. Vans meet the trains for the four-minute ride to the ferry docks and charge about $5, or people can walk the one-mile distance through Bay Shore in about 15 minutes.

Van

David Brothers Car Service (631-665-1515) and Tommy’s Taxi (631-665 4384) run vans to and from Manhattan for $25 each way. Pick up in Manhattan is around 53rd St. and Second Ave. and the vans will drop you on Second Ave., anywhere between 96th and 14th St.

Car

The drive takes about one hour and 20 minutes from Manhattan to the ferry dock. Take the Long Island Expressway East to Exit 53, then the Sagtikos State Parkway South to the Southern State Parkway East. Turn off at Exit 42 South and follow signs through Bay Shore to the ferry. The ferry dock has overnight parking, but it’s often full on weekends between Memorial and Labor Day.
