Fire Island National Seashore
Star Gazing
 

The dark night skies on most parts of Fire Island provide an opportunity to view the stars as you might not be able to see them at home.

Occasional star gazing programs are offered at the Wilderness Visitor Center, Watch Hill, and at the Fire Island Lighthouse.

 

Two people head down sandy trail past bulletin boards and information signs, lighthouse in distance.  

Did You Know?
You can walk to the Fire Island Lighthouse from the Field 5 parking lot at Robert Moses State Park. The lighthouse is open year-round, weather permitting.
