The drive is pleasant and the beach front is huge. Was surprised that there was no charge when going thru the entrance. Must have been a lucky day for all the beach goers. There are many lots to park… Full review by dyl008

The whole shore is beautiful. Atop the Fire Island Lighthouse, you can see it all! I went to Kismet beach in August of 2022. It is stunning! The shore is vast and the water is very shallow with littl… Full review by Jack S

Hello Michele, if you want to go to the Fire Island Lighthouse you can either drive to Robert Moses State Park go to field #5 you can not miss it. You would have to get there early if you drive, parking lot fills up fast. If you take the ferry out of Bay Shore to Kismet if you want to see the lighthouse then walk over about 15 minute walk, the beach is right there , you can bring your back packs on Ferry. There are restaurant's in Kismet, and other communities. You could walk down to Ocean Beach and take ferry back from there also and in the other communities. Ocean beach is the biggest community with a lot of restaurants. No driving on Fire Island. There's a lot to see and enjoy while there.
How do you get from one end of the island to another?

When you go over the bridge onto Fire island, you have parking fields that you can pay to park in. There are five of them, but all are not open all the time. Fire island in season fills up quickly. You also have the option of taking a ferry from bay shore or sayville. Each of these ferries go to different sections of fire island like cherry grove, kismet, saltaire or Ocean beach. You can also park at field five and walk east on the beach,quite a distance, to kismet etc. This is my favorite beach, so enjoy....just go early.
