Parallel to the South Shore Fire Island is a slim portion of land. It is a community of New York City in many ways and during the summertime a huge crowd gather from Manhattan and looks like holed up in its mini colony, The Pines lively Ocean Beach encompassing the mainly gay enclaves of Cherry Grove and the exclusive sole Point O’Woods and Sunken Forest (aka Sailor’s Haven), which attracts a mixed crowd.
There are various ferry crossings, which anybody planning to stay must use, as driving between the two road access points at either end of the island is restricted to island business owners.
