I'll take a stab at this. long Island is 118 miles long if you draw a straight line from the Brooklyn bridge to Montalk point. If you double that to figure in the north and south shores its 236 miles. Add about 140 miles for the both sides of the barrier beach, AKA Fire Island, and you come up with 376 miles. Now factor in the distance between Riverhead and a point equidistant of the south and north forks and add 75 miles for a total of 451 miles. Then you have to figure that none of the shoreline is straight except for the barrier beach. It's a series of coves, harbors and inlets. OK, I'll double what I came up with and postulate that there are 902 miles of shoreline on Long Island. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
