A 1.5-mile boardwalk provides a walkway through the famous Sunken Forest, a shady old-growth forest with hollies up to 200 years old, sassafras, and other hardwoods. The trees rarely grow above about 30 feet in height as they are constantly pruned back by the salty wind blowing over the tops of the dunes. The area has a snack bar/convenience store/gift shop, a picnic area with grills, restrooms and showers. A nice beach with lifeguards (in summer). Ranger-led interpretive programs are conducted throughout the summer months and by reservation for schools and other organized groups.
This off-island attraction is the plantation of a Revolutionary War General and Declaration of Independence signer. The estate includes 12 outbuildings and a cemetery. Family artifacts are displayed throughout the house.
This active navigational aid offers great views of the surroundings and the Manhattan skyline. Grounds include an easy-going nature trail loop. The lighthouse and its programs are run by the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society. A lighthouse built in 1826, now on the National Register of Historic Places
