Fire Island | Long Island’s Hidden Paradise 🏝️✨

Need a Hawaii vibe without the flight? Fire Island delivers sugar-white beaches, lighthouse climbs, and zero crowds (seriously, where are the tourists?). Here’s the salt-kissed scoop: 🌊 Must-Do Adventures 🗼 Fire Island Lighthouse (★★★★☆) • $10 climb = 192 steps to ocean panoramas (leg burn guaranteed). • Pro Tip: Go sunset for golden hour glow. 🦊 Wildlife Hunt • Foxes & deer = elusive (we struck out too 😅). Hot Take: That "I’m in a Blue Crush sequel" delusion? Strong. 🚗 Logistics 📍 Drive to Babylon = 1.5 hrs from NYC (park early). ⛴️ Ferry Option: Bay Shore → Fire Island = 20-min scenic ride. Pro Tip: Pack snacks—island eats = $. 🏖️ Vibes Check ✅ Beaches = empty even on weekends. ⚠️ Skip if: You hate sand in your shoes (duh).
