By Plane
You can fly into LaGuardia or Kennedy Airports in New York City or Islip Macarthur Airport on Long Island, then use a rental car, taxi, or train to your destination.
By Car
There are only two bridges to Fire Island National Seashore. The Robert Moses Causeway on the western end of the island leads to Robert Moses State Park. There are parking lots there. The William Floyd Parkway leads to Smith Point County Park on the eastern end of the island, where there are also parking lots. Parking fees are charged at both lots. There are no public roads on the island itself.
By Public Transporation
By train: Long Island railroad stations are near three ferry terminals: Patchogue, Sayville, and Bay Shore. Contact the Long Island Railroad for train schedules. http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/lirr/aboutlirr.htm Ferries to Fire Island depart from the following locations: Patchogue, Sayville, and Bay Shore.
Many Fire Island sites can be reached by private boat from the Great South Bay, with marinas at Watch Hill, Sailors Haven and most island communities. The bay is shallow, and boaters occasionally moor offshore near park sites. When on Fire Island, water taxis can shuttle you from point to point.
Getting Around
There are no public roads on Fire Island so, upon arrival, you may explore the park on foot or transfer to other park sites via water taxis.
