What can I say but we awoke to another beautiful day with expected temps in the mid 70’s and sunny. We made our way to the Fire Island Visitor Center but let me clarify – we didn’t go to Fire Island itself because one needs to take a ferry and no cars allowed.
Fire Island is a thin New York Island that stretches 32 miles along Long Island’s south shore forming a barrier between Great South Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It supports a sate park, a county park, the national seashore, communities and the only wilderness area in New York.
You can access the Fire Island Lighthouse via a parking lot and boardwalk located in the Robert Moses State Park and it is approximately one- mile from the parking lot via a boardwalk.
The lighthouse is very pretty and has 192 steps – yep more steps to climb. I wasn’t sure if Ron would be able to make the climb because we had to stop several times along the boardwalk because his legs were hurting.
Once at the lighthouse we did make the climb. It was a challenge since there were 40 more steps then at Montauk. The view from the top was 360 degrees of spectacular, especially since the sky was clear and you could see for miles and miles.
After touring the grounds we headed back to the Kismet beach to enjoy the sun, the ocean and the picnic lunch I prepared.
We stayed on the beach for about two hours and a lovely young lady was causing quite a stir. She looked like she was naked on the beach but did have a tiny, tiny bikini bottom on. The guys were ogling and the women were looking disgusted. Just jealous I presume.
Kids don’t lo~ok
After leaving the beach we headed to Amityville to check out the house featured in the movie The Amityville Horror. The house is for sale for 1.2 million but no takers so far. The current owners have been in the house for fifteen years and report no haunting activity has occurred. The front of the house and the number on the house have been changed but Ronnie the sleuth figured out where it was and the moving van in the driveway was a dead give away.
