Pelham Cemetery

Pelham Cemetery on City Island has an incredible view of the Long Island Sound—probably the best view you'll find in a cemetery. Walking on the green grass, you'll see boats moored across the water, which is where many of its interred made their living. Many of the cemetery's tombstones are marked with nautical ranks with images of ships, sailboats, compasses, fish and anchors. While a fire burned the grounds' records, historians say it was established in the mid-1800s along the shore and has since held 2,000 graves.
