Fire Island National Seashore (FINS) was established to help conserve the relatively unspoiled and undeveloped beaches, dunes and other natural features of this barrier island. We thank the National Park Service Photo, the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society, and the family-owned ferry companies for their support and photos.
