Fire Island Lighthouse

Fire Island lighthouse is not the same as the fire island beach. You have to take a ferry to go to the beach but not for the lighthouse.


It was a perfect summer day - with a clear sky and scattered clouds. For the past 3 years that I have lived in New York, I have always wanted to go there but never had a chance. Easiest way to get there is by car :o)



The lighthouse was first lit in 1858. It is no longer in use now however. There is a small museum and a gift shop. You can also go top of the lighthouse. There are about 168 steps to the top and a breathtaking view!!

En route the top:

There are many trails that go around to the bay area side of the island. They are fun to explore the area.
