We are thinking about doing a trip to Fire Island this summer. We will be coming down from Old Saybrook, CT (through the Peconic Bays, and the Chinecock Canal).
1. Once we come through the canal, would we travel inside or outside of the barrier island?
2. Where is the best place to stay if we want to be near a town with restaurants, bars etc., but also able to take the dingy to the beach?
3. We are not necessarily looking for a marina. We are very comfortable achoring for extended periods.
4. We will have kids with us ranging in age from 6 to 15. We would like to be in a family friendly area. We are not adverse to gay friendly areas, as long as they are in the context of family...
5. Are there any particular weekends that are better or worse in the summer in terms of any large activities or anything like that?
6. What is a comperable destination that you would compare Fire Island to? Watch Hill, RI? Block Island, RI? Greenport, NY? I would like to know more about the place...
