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.

 
PWC passes a green channel marker in bay near wooded shoreline and salt marsh.  

Did You Know?
The use of personal watercraft (PWCs or JetSkis) is restricted within the boundaries of Fire Island National Seashore. While not permitted at National Park Service facilities or near shorelines, PWCs may use the marked channels to access some of the Fire Island communities.
