The Watch Hill, Fire Island National Seashore

Just take the ferry from Patchogue. Free Parking!

If you haven't come here this summer, it's time to fit it in your schedule before the school days arrive.

There are walking trails, the beach, and the marina to explore. 

Spend the day and see what Long Island has to offer right in our own backyard!

Swim in the green...
Almost 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!
