No doubt Fire Island is a summer hot spot. It's made even hotter by the fact that you can't drive there. So dump your car in a parking lot, buy a ferry ticket and climb aboard a boat. Here's what you need to know about the Fire Island ferries.
FROM BAY SHORE Pricing Adult: $9 one way ($16 for 1 a.m. ferry), $17 roundtrip Adult: 40-trip book: $264 Child: $4.50 one way, $7.50Child: 40-trip book: $125 Seniors and handicapped: $7 Shopping carts and luggage carriers: $4 Parking
99 Maple Ave., Bay Shore, 631-665-3600 Between all the seasonal parking passes bought by residents of Fire Island, and all the folks who just want to go and party for a night, the parking lots fill up quickly (cash only). If you're taking a ferry to Fire Island in the early evening, add extra time for parking down the street and walking. Some enterprising Long Islanders actually have vans combing other nearby parking lots and charge would-be walkers a few bucks for a ride. If you're pressed for time, it's worth it.
