For visitors on the hunt for a quiet, secluded, and beautiful beach getaway, look no further than Water Island. Contrary to what its name suggests, Water Island is in fact not an island. Rather, it is a private community on Fire Island Beach and is composed of roughly 50 houses. As it is surrounded by several beaches and parks, Water Island is perfect for the introverted traveler or someone who simply wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As Water Island is a private community, the only way to experience it is to rent a beach home in the area.

Address: Water Island Suffolk County, Fire Island, New York
