SANDY BEACHES, COVES & ROCKY SHORES

Fishers Island’s shoreline is treasured for its relatively undeveloped natural state and its scenic diversity. This section takes a second look at our shoreline to discover the unseen and often unnoticed activities of its many inhabitants, those that are often beyond our limited visual range, hidden in plain sight, or invisible below the surface. Exposed by talented nature photographers, a far busier natural world than the casual observer might imagine comes into sharp focus.
