Non residents are fine overnight, but you are talking the higher rate, and it is hard to find a spot on the weekend. You will also do some rocking and rolling with the winds......
Todd, I'm not sure you're right on the 1/2 mile but even if you are Atlantique is a 45 minute walk to Ocean Beach, a 2 minute dinghy ride and $20 to dock or a 5 minute and $8 per person water taxi ride. We don't walk to OB (especially on the way back for obvious reasons).Ocean beach is a 1/2 mile walk from Atlantique & Fair Harbor is only 1/4 mile & has a nice little Restaurant, LeDock or something like that. Great food!
I just ran aground this winter ( December ) with my small fishing boat, 23' walk around single outboard DEAD center of the well mark channel. I also sore several other boats run aground. I have also been through the channel with my big boat in the summer ( July ) with no problemsI think I'm gonna give Seaview a try... See if i can book something way in advance or something in that area... How is the water coming into Fire Island from the ocean? Channel well marked? Deep water? I looked it up on my Gamin and it looks like the Channel is all over the place....
You are correct Brian. It is just under one mile walking, not as the crow flies.Todd, I'm not sure you're right on the 1/2 mile but even if you are Atlantique is a 45 minute walk to Ocean Beach, a 2 minute dinghy ride and $20 to dock or a 5 minute and $8 per person water taxi ride.

Would u guys say its just a day trip??? Thinking of going on Sat and leaving on a Sunday... Maybe grab a early lunch walk around town, Grab dinner maybe a few drinks and then in for the night... We are not too much of beach people.. We like window shopping and just hanging around town or the docks.... We could do longer, we usually leave the longer trips for more out East where we are spending 4 to 5 days... Trying for Block Island this year too which is on my Bucket list.....
Any recommendations for fuel (gas) in Fire Island?
Hi Kevin,Does each one of those dots represent a mosquito bite on the midway trail? (just poking a little fun) I would stay on the shoreline and have done so many times. I must say it always feels like a longer walk back though.

Hi Kevin,
We loved it at Atlantique. There were ZERO mosquitos when we were there. They must spray pretty good. Plus, we had 4 bars of 4G cell service too. I think there is a tower at Ocean Beach. We usually walk about 1/2 way on the beach then catch the concrete boardwalk. Walking back is great. We enjoy the ocean breeze & stars. Last time we were there we even caught a meteor shower! There were a bunch of people sitting on the beach. We sat for a while & watched the show. I have no issues with the walk.

I was just thinking probably going through jones inlet as I will be coming from manasquan inlet and there will be more fuel options there. How is the inside route from JI to FINothing down on Fire Island that I can think of off hand. If your coming in the Fire Island inlet the fuel dock at the Captree Boat basic may be the most convenient one. There are a couple on the north side but I have not used them. I usually fuel up west of there on my way out.

The channel isn't bad. I've done that run from the Watch Hill area through Jones Inlet both ways & other than a few no wake zones it wasn't a problem. I also came in East Rockaway inlet once in some rough seas and made that run all the way home.I was just thinking probably going through jones inlet as I will be coming from manasquan inlet and there will be more fuel options there. How is the inside route from JI to FI
