Conveniently an hour and a half away from New York, Fire Island is a 31 miles long barrier island off the South shore of Long Island.
Running along the Atlantic Ocean, the island is home to the Ocean Beach, Smith Point County Park, and Barrett Beach. The usual beach fun activities such as swimming, surfing, and picnicking are supplemented with beach-side restaurants and bars hosting live music.
