A beautiful, historic spot with stunning ocean views and a peaceful boardwalk walk through the dunes. Climb 182 steps to the top for amazing 360° views of Fire Island and beyond. Great for families, history buffs, or anyone looking for a scenic day trip. Don't miss it!

Great historical location with a great view. Don't set your GPS to the lighthouse or it will take you down a road you don't belong on. Set it for robert moses field 5 then walk over. Lots of informative displays and you can also climb the 182 steps to the tower. Great views of the surrounding area.

Fire Island Lighthouse is a great place to visit on Fire Island. Parking field #5 is the closest parking lot to the lighthouse and there is a boardwalk from the parking lot to the lighthouse. It’s about a mile walk and is wheelchair accessible (not necessarily handicapped assessable though). There are only two benches in the first half mile and none after that so if you have difficulty walking that far without a break that could be an issue. The museum first floor is assessable by wheelchair but not the second floor.
You can climb up to the top of the lighthouse and I would recommend that if you can.

We enjoyed the light house! 182 steps up to the deck where you can walk out onto...verrry windy that day! It was a decent walk from lot #5, but it was a nice peaceful walk. Staff was pleasant and knowledgeable of thislighthouse as well as others.

Lovely staff at the lighthouse help to make an historical journey nice as can be. The climb up isn't so bad - 142 steps up a wide metal spiral staircase. The view is worth it, and you can walk out onto the lighthouse platform where the operator themselves would've walked. Beautiful.
