There’s only one way to get to Fire Island itself, and that’s via Sayville Ferry Service.

By Car – Once you’re on Long Island, program your GPS for 41 River Road, Sayville, NY to find the Ferry embarking point. There is daily parking right across the street.

By Train – Connect with Long Island Railroad at Penn Station in New York City.

If you are arriving by train you can walk to the Ferry port, but most people take the jitney. The fee is a few bucks each way and it pays to pack light.
