Cherry Grove Beach is located on Fire Island, the 32-mile-long and ΒΌ-mile-wide barrier island between the south shore of Long Island and the Atlantic Ocean.

The island is known as the home of three wonderful parks: On the west side is Robert Moses State Park, on the east is Smith Point County Park, and the rest of the island is a national park and a wilderness preserve.

Fire Island is also a home to 17 communities that live in a green, car-free environment with only about 400 permanent residents.

Surrounded by fine white sand, the island is a popular destination for sun worshipers and its population grows during the summer to 20,000, not counting the day visitors.
