Getting Here
By Car
There are only two bridges to Fire Island National Seashore. The Robert Moses Causeway on the western end on the island leads to Robert Moses State Park which has parking lots. The William Floyd Parkway leads to Smith Point County Park on the eastern end of the island, where there ia also a parking lot. Parking fees are charged at both lots. There are no public roads on the island itself. Park Headquarters and the William Floyd Estate are located on Long Island, New York.
By Bus
Bus routes operated by Suffolk County Transit provide access to the park's gateway communities, but you'll have to walk or take a taxi to get to your destination.
By Train
Long Island Railroad stations are near three ferry terminals: Patchogue, Sayville, and Bay Shore. Contact the Long Island Railroad for train schedules. Schedules vary depending on weekday, weekend, holiday, and season.
By Plane
You can fly into LaGuardia or Kennedy Airport in New York City or Islip MacArthur Airport on Long Island, then use a rental car, taxi, or train to your destination.
By Boat
Many Fire Island sites can be reached by private boat from the Great South Bay, with marinas at Watch Hill, Sailors Haven ,and most island communities. The bay is shallow, and boaters occasionally moor offshore near park sites. When on Fire Island, water taxis can shuttle you from point to point.
Ferries to Fire Island are passenger ferries only and depart from the following locations: Patchogue (Davis Park Ferry), Sayville (Sayville Ferry), and Bay Shore (Fire Island Ferry). Ferries operate on a full schedule during July and August, and fewer ferries in spring and fall.
On Fire Island
Having no roads, travel on Fire Island is limited to walking or traveling by boat from one area to another.
Fire Island Water Taxi is authorized to provide lateral ferry service between communities and other destination points on Fire Island.
