Question

How do I get to Kismet?

Answer

Please note that you can NOT drive to Kismet, Fire Island. The easiest way to get to Kismet is to take the Fire Island Ferry service that leaves from 99 Maple Ave, Bay Shore. There is a dedicated ferry departing Bay Shore at 4pm on Saturday 9/27. For the return trip, we have dedicated ferries departing Kismet at 10p and 11p. If you would prefer to arrive or depart at a different time, you can view the ferry schedule published on fireislandferries.com or you can make arrangements with the Fire Island Water Taxi service at fireislandwatertaxi.com. We will also have dedicated East/West water transportation throughout the weekend to accommodate any guests staying in different Fire Island communities. Please reach out to our guest coordinator Carrie (646.642.9252‬) at any point leading up to and throughout the weekend to assist with logistical needs. Overnight parking is permitted in the Bay Shore parking lots.
