FIRE ISLAND

The hottest summer place East of NY

Synopsis

Fire Island is a small island accessible only by ferry, a little over 2 hours from New York.

There are no paved roads or cars. It is a place of privacy, protected from prying eyes.

In the summer, it is the island of contrasts with the LGBT community running amok; Cherry Grove and its relaxed atmosphere where everyone knows each other; Pines, home to the snobs and where social competition is intense; and in between, the Meat Rack, a natural boundary that takes the form of a wood where the temperature can rise very quickly.
