Description
On Fire Island's western tip, Robert Moses State Park spreads a five-mile ocean beach with four lifeguarded fields, picnic areas, playgrounds, pitch-and-putt golf, and camping. Campers find sites with water access, electric hookups, and a huge beach nearby. Reviewers praise its clean sands and dramatic sunsets, often calling it a quieter alternative to Jones Beach, though some note weekend crowds and distant rinse stations. The park also serves as a gateway to the Fire Island Lighthouse and a recommended spot for dark-sky viewing during the Perseids.
