Slow Down
Fire Island is like a little slice of heaven and even more so during the off season due to the added tranquility.

Beat The Crowds
The busiest time on Fire Island is during the summer months where events like the Fire Island Dance Festival and Pines Party takes place. These events attract thousands to the island each year and while we wholeheartedly recommend visiting during those times, we understand that crowds aren’t for everyone. Coming during the off season means less hustle, less bustle and more time to have your vacation your way.
Be Included
Cherry Grove, which was recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 2015, was one of the first places in the country where it was safe to be openly gay. Now it, along with The Pines, has helped turn Fire Island into one of the premier LGBT vacation spots in the world. Throughout Fire Island, you’ll find gay-owned and operated restaurants, bars and hotels. And more importantly, you’ll find a spirit of acceptance and freedom that pervades the entire island.
Take In The Scenery
No matter what time of year it is you can be sure of one thing–Fire Island is beautiful. With some of the best beaches in the northeast and gorgeous oceanside vistas, you’ll never lose sight of the fact you’re on an island paradise.
