Lenny,
I would travel inside Fire Island and then your look at about 12-13 miles to New Harbor at Block. If your looking for a mooring get there midweek. You can also anchor for free. If I were to got to one of the marinas I prefer the Boat Basin. Champlins is great if you have kids but always loud.
I love Block and think its a great place to spend some quality time with the family. They have everything you need but it comes at a cost so don't worry if you forget something. A friend needed new battery's and they flew them in first thing in the morning for $50 shipping.
Newport is a fun place too. I prefer the Newport Yachting Center but anything in the down town area is good.
