Fire Island Beach Day

Part I - Sun, Surf and Paddle Ball

This week the family spent a long and lazy day on Fire Island, one of my favorite local destinations. Truth be told, we had not been there in awhile, but since this summer we were doing a "stay-cation", it was the perfect destination.

Fire Island is a beautiful barrier island and a 30 minute ferry ride from the south shore. No cars allowed. Bicycles, scooters, wagons and bare feet rule. Walking and biking are a way of life. Parents have the freedom to let children roam about freely. Life slows down to a crawl.

Beachy, sun-drenched and lazy describe life on Fire Island. A slice of Heaven!

After arriving by ferry, it is a short and leisurely stroll to the beach:

Bay Side View:

Bikes and Wagons Parking!

The Call of the  Ocean:

Why did we NOT bring our Boogie Boards?

OK, We are having fun regardless:

Is the tide coming in or going out.......  hum?

An Afternoon of Beach Paddles Ball....Is it an Olympic Sport Yet?

Clouds rolled in and out......but not a drop of rain!

Dinner on the Water.......And Cocktails of course :

Evening is coming and our day is soon coming to an end:

Strolling through Town. These chairs were just calling their names! :

Best Part of the Day: The Waves!

Heading Home by Ferry. We'll be back!  Stay tune for Part II which will be posted soon! xoxo S.
