All about Fire Island

In the 1920s, New York theater folks started hopping from the island of Manhattan to another long and narrow island about 60 miles east called Fire Island. Soon, other creatives followed — writers and artists, and eventually the celebrity crowd looking for a getaway from the big city in the form of a Fire Island vacation. Only a quarter of a mile wide, the island is filled with sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches on one side and the Great South Bay’s shores on the other.

What are the top things to do in Fire Island?

Ocean Beach

The island’s largest hamlet channels a Greenwich Village vibe, with a family-friendly downtown area lined with restaurants, boutiques, and bars, plus a lifeguarded ocean beach and bayside marina.

Ocean Bay Park

Just east of Ocean Beach is the slightly more laidback community of Ocean Bay Park — just a half-mile long — popular with both singles and family crowds, despite the lack of lifeguards on duty.

Kismet

The annual clam shucking contest draws visitors to this hamlet on the far western point of the island near the Fire Island Lighthouse. As opposed to some exclusive communities, Kismet is known for welcoming all into its five blocks.

Fire Island Pines & Cherry Grove

Better known as simply the Pines and the Grove, these two villages were among the first places in the country where the LGBTQ community could be open about their identities; they remain a popular destination for the community. Boardwalks line both hamlets, connecting the beaches with restaurants and nightlife hotspots.
