High Island (Bronx)
Small island in the Bronx, New York
About
High Island is a small, uninhabited, privately-owned island, part of the Pelham Islands in the Bronx, New York City. It lies east of the north end of City Island between City Island Harbor and Pelham Bay in Long Island Sound. It is connected to City Island by a sandbar that emerges at very low tide, as well as by a small private bridge.
Previously used as a stone quarry and then a summer resort, the island today is used to support two radio station transmitters and antennas.
