Just a reminder...

Just a reminder to stay off the dunes while visiting Fire Island.

The dunes protect the beaches and the shores of Long Island. If you walk on the dunes or let your children play on the dunes, the grass is disturbed, and the sand will blow away in a storm.

Fire Island is our barrier beach and protects us in many ways!

First day of Spring and the snow is melting!
As the temperature rises, people visit the beach for long walks and fresh salt-air.
