Climb to the top for sweeping views of the ocean and bay — it’s worth the steps.
Set up with a chair and SPF for a long, lazy beach day — it’s what Fire Island does best.
Head to the bay in the evening — Fire Island sunsets are legendary.
Ocean Beach has restaurants, shops, and the famous Rocket Fuel cocktail. Some of our favorites: Island Mermaid – our go-to for dinner with a view Hideaway – cozy, romantic, and a little more lowkey Rachel’s – casual and consistently good food Maguire’s – a true Ocean Beach classic Albatross – lively late-night bar scene Matthew’s – solid spot for drinks CJ’s – home of the iconic Rocket Fuel cocktail 🍹 Houser’s – our personal favorite bar and home of the Zippy Cooler
Take a stroll through the Sunken Forest — a rare and peaceful maritime holly forest.
