Fire Island National Seashore
Hiking
 

Fire Island National Seashore offers several opportunities for hiking, from short 1½ mile strolls around the boardwalks at Watch Hill and Sailors Haven, to longer walks down the beach and through the Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness.

 

 
Always remember to carry water and be prepared for poison ivy, ticks, mosquitoes, and sun or other elements.
