Nude Beaches

There are 4 nude beaches on Fire Island-

Lighthouse Beach

This is not easy to get to without a car. Its about a mile walk from either Kismet or Robert Moses. Walk along the beach until you are just east of the lighthouse. This is one of the most popular nude beaches.

By car- State Pkwy to R.Moses Causeway (Exit 40) south. Go to end, follow R.Moses State Park signs. Bear left at traffic circle, park in Field 5. Walk 1 mi. on boardwalk nature trail or dirt rd to lighthouse.

Kismet

Turn right when you get to the beach at Kismet and walk for 5 minutes towards the lighthouse. This beach is basically Lighthouse Beach East. It is an official nude beach with a big sign "Beyond This Point You May Encounter Nude Sunbathers" It's larger than Lighthouse Beach and not crowded. On the bay side there are two bar/restaurants ( the Inn and the Out) and a general store.

Cherry Grove has many shops, a few restaurants and 3 large bars with dancing. It's a very tolerant mix of gay women and men and a few straights. The beach is a recognized nude beach. Probably less than half go nude but no one seems bothered either way. If you turn left at the beach and walk east you will see groups of nude people. Walk for about 30 minutes and you will be at the Pines.
