Pacific Rim is situated at the southernmost end of Shelter Island. This recreational area was the result of students from the United States, China, Mexico and Russia to help construct what is now one of four international parks in cities on the Pacific Coast. Other Pacific Rim Parks are in Tijuana, Mexico, Yantai, China, and Vladivostok, Russia. The park is centered around a monument called the "Pearl of the Pacific." Amenities at this park include walking and cycling paths, picnic facilities and it is a popular location for weddings and other events.
