Fire Island National Seashore
Places To Go
 

In 1964, Fire Island National Seashore was established to conserve and preserve for the use of future generations certain relatively unspoiled and undeveloped beaches, dunes, and other natural features. Within the boundaries of the national seashore, 17 pre-existing communities and a county park still thrive. Long Island's first state park lies just outside the federal boundaries.

You can still visit these sites today:
