 Spend this Summer in  Davis Park and you will
 learn why these Fire Island's sandy beaches 
were ranked in the TOP TEN most beautiful beaches
 IN THE WORLD!  It consists of miles and miles 
of pure, white sand, with nothing but beach 
grass, and other assorted plants holding it all
 together. The community has professional 
lifeguards on duty all Season long. You can 
frequently see deer actually walking on the 
boardwalks,no longer afraid of people. 
Davis Park is the last Eastern-Most Beach 
Community on Long Island's Fire Island. 
It borders the breath-taking Watch Hill which 
is a National Park Beach and Wild-Life Preserve. 
Davis Park has no roads, no cars,  and all of 
its buildings are connected by wooden boardwalks. 



  

Imagine Cape Cod or the Hamptons, with no roads or cars, accessible only by boat. That is Davis Park!
 It's only 90 minutes East of Midtown Manhattan, but a "world away" from the hustle and bustle of the 
City.  Davis Park has a Fire Department, a Post Office, a General Store, snack bar, public restrooms 
(with showers), a restaurant and a famous  club called The Casino which is the ONLY Ocean-Front 
bar/club on Fire Island (pictured above). This club usually rocks with live bands on Summer Week-Ends.  It is the only 
place of its kind on Fire Island. There is an outside deck right on the ocean and an inside bar/dance 
floor. There is also a casual dining restaurant, again, right on the Ocean. It is a beautiful spot to 
have a relaxing drink, dine, talk with friends, or just watch the sunset.   The laid-back beach life 
style attracts both singles and families. It is a great place to bring the kids as there are playgrounds 
and a public beach. Also, Watch Hill, which is less than a ten minute walk on the beach, holds free 
craft making sessions for children as well as free guided nature walk tours where the children can 
learn about the wildlife and vegetation that is unique to Fire Island's Eco- System.


The crowd at Davis Park is 
divided into 3 groups, 
boaters, day-trippers, and 
"landlubbers" (those who stay 
in the many beach houses that 
are either rented or owner 
occupied.) Boaters tend to be 
family oriented, as do those 
who occupy the houses. 
Day-trippers are mixed.  Davis 
Park is operated by the Town 
of Brookhaven. Most visitors to 
Davis Park come by a ferry which 
is operated out of Patchogue. 
You can also access the island 
by your own boat and dock at 
Davis Park's  town-operated 
Marina, which has over 100 boat 
slips, power and water for 
vessels from 16 feet up to 
about 50 feet. However, this 
dock is very popular and it 
fills up very fast on Summer 
Week-Ends. So if you plan to 
visit using your own boat leave 
early in the day or you won't get 
a boat slip. If you are planning 
a week-end stay your best bet would be 
to use the regular ferry service to Davis Park from the Sandspit Marina in Patchogue. By train take the Long 
Island Railroad to the Patchogue Station. Take a cab, or walk, (about 15 mins) down Cedar to the Bay. Right 
on Brightwood Street. Ferry Terminal is at the Town of Brookhaven, Sandspit Marina. Ample parking for cars, 
reasonable parking fees.
