Return to Fire Island



On the Saturday before Memorial Day Weekend, when the East Coast Summer Resort Season officialy starts, we took a ferryboat to Fire Island.



The barrier island south of Long Island was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, and there were remnants of the storm still lying about at scattered beach houses in Cherry Grove...



...and in The Pines nearby...



...but my Long Island host was surprised to see there had not been greater damage.



We sat on a sunny beach before the weather turned grey....



...and went exploring on the wooden boardwalks of the upscale Pines community...



...before walking into a magic forest.
