How to get in Fire Island National Seashore
Fire Island is accessible almost all year. Most travelers visit during the summer, from May through September, when the weather is the best for beach-related activities. At other times public transportation to the island may be limited, and some island services are unavailable. Ferries run regularly to the island in the summer months but are limited in the off-season. Be sure to review the train and ferry schedules in advance, and pay particular attention to the return schedules.
The Fire Island Lighthouse, William Floyd Estate, and the two parks at either end of Fire Island, Smith Point County Park and Robert Moses State Park, are accessible year-round by car. Operating hours do vary by season.
Fire Island's Sailors Haven, Barrett Beach/Talisman and Watch Hill areas are dependent on water travel, and are open from mid-May through mid-October each year. The Wilderness Visitor Center is open mid-May through December. Ranger-led interpretive activities are primarily scheduled for summer months at all locations.
