Greenport Car Service
Sit Back, Relax & Explore Shelter Island
Greenport has become one of the top hot spots on Long Island’s North Fork, offering an abundance of shops, restaurants, art galleries and a vibrant nightlife. For decades, Greenport’s historic charm and beautiful harbor have drawn visitors from around the world. But in recent years it has also become a trendy summer destination for those who need to escape the hectic city life.
Shelter Island Quick Facts
Use the below guide – courtesy of our experts here at Jackrabbit Limo: a locally operated Greenport limo service – for helpful tips on what to explore and how to travel the area more easily.
Shelter Island Limo Service: The Most Comfortable Way to Travel
Greenport is a charming village located on the eastern end of Long Island within the town of Southold. It’s about a 2.5-hour drive from NYC, but it’s well worth the trip if you want to experience the best of the North Fork, including breweries, wineries, restaurants, shops, historic sites – and of course the beautiful beaches.
Where to Explore
Shops & Restaurants
From fine dining to burger joints, Greenport has options for every taste. Take a stroll along Front Street and Main Street to discover some of the best restaurants, plus a wide selection of shops and boutiques.
Wineries & Breweries
Kontokosta Winery is a popular winery located directly in Greenport, but you’ll find dozens more a few miles west. The easiest way to explore North Fork’s many wineries is to use a Greenport limousine service for guided winery tours. Beer lovers: check out Greenport Harbor Brewing, or take the car ferry to Shelter Island Craft Brewery.
Beaches
Enjoy the stunning views and fun water activities at several Greenport beaches, including the 5th Street Beach (no permit required), the Town Beach on Rt. 48, the “67 Steps Beach” and Norman E. Klipp Marine Park.
History
For history lovers, there are several excellent museums, including the East End Seaport Museum, the Railroad Museum of Long Island and Stirling Historical Museum of Greenport.
Shelter Island
Explore the quaint community of Shelter Island by taking the 10-minute car ferry from Greenport.
Where to Stay

Bed & Breakfasts
For a quainter feel, check out The Inn at Harbor Knoll or The Stirling House.
Getting to Greenport
By Car
If you’re visiting from the city, the main route is the Long Island Expressway/I-495 to Rt. 48. But watch out for traffic! Using a Greenport NYC car service is strongly recommended. At Jackrabbit Limo, our experienced drivers know all the best routes and backroads to help you avoid delays, especially during peak travel season. We provide luxury transportation in both directions: car service from NYC to Greenport and return car service from Greenport to NYC.
By Plane
For flights via JFK Airport, use our car service from JFK to Greenport for a relaxed, comfortable ride to the North Fork. We also serve all other NYC-area airports, including LaGuardia (LGA), Newark (EWR) and MacArthur/Islip (ISP). Outboard transportation is also available via our car service from Greenport to ISP airport, JFK, LGA and EWR.
Traveling Tips
- Traffic can get heavy during peak seasons, especially if you plan to travel from Westhampton to East Hampton or Montauk. It’s important to use an experienced Westhampton car service that knows the area well. Call us at (631) 600-7700 and we can help you decide the best times to travel. Beware
- Need transport to/from the airport? If you plan to use a Westhampton to airport car service, keep in mind that Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP / Islip) is the closest airport, but has fewer airlines and fewer direct flights. JFK and LaGuardia airport (LGA) are typically your best bet, unless you are traveling via Frontier or Southwest Airlines. Using a Westhampton limo service is typically much easier and more efficient (especially compared to choosing a Westhampton airport car rental. (Car rentals in Westhampton are limited, and it can be difficult to navigate Long island without knowledge of the area).
- Westhampton vs. Westhampton Beach: Both are distinct communities, each with their own vibe and things to do. Westhampton is more of a residential community with a smaller downtown area. Westhampton Beach has a more lively “beach town” atmosphere with a greater range of shops, restaurants and a boardwalk.
