Pea Island (New Rochelle, New York)

USA / New York / New Rochelle / New Rochelle, New York

Pea Island is a small island in Long Island Sound and a part of the city of New Rochelle in Westchester County, New York. It features a rocky, grass-covered terrain, with exposed rocks at low tide. The island lies approximately 1 mile from the New Rochelle shore, adjacent to Davids' and Columbia islands, and just west of the New York City border.

Pea Island is owned by the Huguenot Yacht Club which is based on nearby Neptune Island in New Rochelle's Lower Harbor. The island has seen little use since 1992 when a severe storm destroyed most of the structures that had gradually been built by the Club over time since the 1930s.
