Located at the western end of Fire Island, Robert Moses State Park is an 875-acre state park that boasts five miles of beautiful beaches overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Established in 1908 and named after mid-20th-century urban planner Robert Moses, the park is the oldest state park on Long Island and offers a variety of outdoor activities and attractions for visitors to enjoy.

Anglers can fish from the piers, golfers can practice at the 18-hole Pitch & Putt golf course, and families can relax over picnics in designated areas. The beautiful beaches offer swimming, surfing, and beachcombing, and a day-use boat basin can accommodate up to 40 boats. The park also has several volleyball courts, first aid stations, and a playground, and it is home to the famous Fire Island Lighthouse on the Fire Island National Seashore. Robert Moses State Park is open year-round from sunrise to sunset and is accessible from the Robert Moses Causeway across Great South Bay.

Robert Moses State Park is a 1 hr 45 min day trip from NYC (58.9 miles via Ocean Pkwy E).
