This is Barrett Beach, taken in 2005 on the bayside of Fire Island at this time of year (November).
It is no longer called Barrett Beach, but took the name of the larger area which is part of the National Seashore. It's all Talisman.

Swim in the green...
Another person died this week at the beach here on Long island. Every year people drown in the ocean off Fire Island. Sometimes the waves and rip-currents are too strong and people aren't prepared. There are no lifeguards in some areas. Swim in the green flagged areas!
