The sand thoroughfare linking Robert Moses State Park to the Fire Island Lighthouse and beyond. No cars past this point.

With the forecast for stormy weather across the South Shore and Great South Bay, an early morning beach visit was deemed necessary.

Today’s sun brought slightly warmer temperatures hitting the low 40’s at 3:30pm. The bright day brought people, kids, pets and surfers out to Robert Moses State Park and Fire Island National Seashore.
