About the Pridwin

Nestled between the eastern tips of Long Island (and only 2 1/2 hours from Manhattan), Shelter Island is a true oasis: a combination of beachside beauty and old New England charm. The rural atmosphere, woodlands, flowering fields, abundant wildlife, sandy beaches, and surrounding blue waters provide a vacationer's paradise not to be found anywhere else in the region.

The Pridwin Hotel on Crescent Beach offers the best of Shelter Island. With the most beautiful water-view on the island, The Pridwin's tranquil beachside location ensures relaxation by day and fun by night.

Whether you prefer to sit by the pool relaxing, reading, and sipping your favorite frozen drink, or to choose from an unending array of activities, The Pridwin is ideal. From swimming, kayaking, and sailing to hiking, biking, golf, and tennis at the Moussa Drame Tennis Club ... you will find time for them all.

Swim and cool off in our private pool or take a dip in the bay where you can kayak, row, and sail as well. Spectacular hiking is available nearby on the trails of the 2000-acre Mashomack Nature Preserve, one of the crown jewels of the Nature Conservancy.

During the week, our Wednesday evening outdoor cookouts followed by live music and dancing are legendary. And on weekends, experience "The Shelter Island Sound," music from Motown to Ibiza featuring special guest D.J.s and a chance to dance poolside under the stars. All week long, The Pridwin Bar Lounge specializes in frozen drinks and local wines for sunset celebration or nightgazing at the moon, sand, and stars.

We welcome sailors and motor boaters! Private dock space and safe anchorage are available.

Join us for a delightful getaway...
