Great location. We ignorantly thought we could park next to it based on the directions on both google & Apple Maps, but when we got there we parked at field 5 and walked from there. We went @ 10:15am on Sunday, wasn’t packed at all! Polite staff @ the museum and price was cheap, parking was $8.. took our 10 year & 17 year old up the tower! Great pics , great scenery , great experience! Next time will bring our bikes instead of walking, we just didn’t know. Only about 1 mile walk, about 18 mins from parking to lighthouse! 180+ steps up to lighthouse

What a beautiful scenery along the way to the lighthouse. We have been here so many times and its just always a great nature walk. The lighthouse is breathtaking as well. Went up with my oldest kid and took my dad here when he visited. Great memories.
On a side note: the walk to the top of the lighthouse is NOT easy. My head was spinning 😅 be careful.

Sitting on Federal Park lands this historic monument welcomes visitors regularly and it's all staffed and filled with sights and history in naval transport and settling and development of Fire Island and its various communities over the years.
The walk up is manageable for those in relatively good shape and wasn't crowded at all. The clear day offered excellent views all around even towards NYC. There's a gift shop that also sells snacks and a museum next door that houses the original lamp used in the first iteration of the lighthouse.
Recommended visit esp if you enjoy learning.

Have visited the Fire Island Light House area before but we have never climbed up to see the view. But glad we did. The Parks Department Staff enlighten us with history and information.
P.S - Elderly and young children may have a hard time climbing the long spiral staircase.
Beautiful area and beach.

I had a beautiful experience here! I loved the long boardwalk leading up the lighthouse. It was a great way to see the natural beauty, flora, and fauna of the island. The lighthouse itself was great. I enjoyed the (~15 min) climb to the top, and the 360 degree views of the island at the top were gorgeous. The guide at the top was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative, and he taught me about the history of the island and the surrounding area.
