Robins Island, Private island in Peconic Bay, Suffolk County, United States.
Robins Island is a private island in Peconic Bay situated between the North and South Forks of Long Island. The roughly 435-acre property features natural landscapes with several residential buildings and is maintained as a private estate.
The island was granted in 1636 to William Alexander by King Charles I as part of a larger territorial grant. The land changed hands several times before becoming a private estate in the modern era.
The island functions as a private hunting estate and serves as a habitat for various animal species. Visitors from afar notice how the property reflects its owners' commitment to land stewardship and wildlife protection.
The island is not open to the public and can only be reached by private boat. Visitors can view it from the water, but must respect the private property boundaries.
The property underwent major restoration in the early 1990s with the planting of mature oak trees to reshape the landscape. These replanting efforts represent an unusual approach to private land management on Long Island.
