About Robert Moses State Park

Robert Moses State Park sits at the western end of Fire Island in southern Suffolk County, on Long Island. Its beaches stretch along the Atlantic and span roughly five miles of shoreline. Visitors can swim and boogie board at four lifeguard-staffed fields, while surfers and surf anglers also use the coast. Field 2 has a pitch and putt course and a large volleyball area, and Field 3, the oldest recreation area, offers picnic space near a landmark water tower. Field 5 provides access to a nature walk leading to the Fire Island Lighthouse, along with a playground. Facilities include concessions, restrooms, showers, and first aid offices, and beach wheelchairs are available free on a first-come basis. Permits for fishing, surfing, and other activities are sold at the park office.
