 Fire Island is a fascinating place that has provided fond memories for generations of people who have lived, worked, or played on the island.
If You Have One DayEnjoy sightseeing, hiking, and wildlife-viewing on nature trails at sites on Fire Island or on the grounds of William Floyd Estate. Fire Island Lighthouse, Sailors Haven/Sunken Forest, Watch Hill, Talisman, and Wilderness are National Park Service sites located on the barrier island. Private boats or passenger ferries are required to access Sailors Haven/Sunken Forest, Watch Hill, and Talisman seasonal, midisland sites. The Fire Island Lighthouse, Wilderness, and William Floyd Estate are accessible year-round by car. Be sure to check directions, hours of operation, and the calendar of events for each site prior to planning your trip!
