Fire Island is just a ferry ride away from the south shore of Long Island, but is world away into the pristine, unspoiled wilderness with 32-miles of fine white sandy beaches and quaint communities that have their own unique spirit. Robert Moses State Park on the western tip of this thin barrier island has nice picnic spots and the picturesque 19th-century Fire Island Lighthouse. Take a stroll along the wooden walkways of the shady, romantic Sunken Forest, surrounded by massive dunes. If you feel adventurous, learn to parasail at the Fire Island Parasail in Ocean Bay Park.
