Watch Hill on Fire Island offers a safe and friendly hiking/camping experience for all ages. The boardwalk trails protect visitors from ticks and poison ivy while protecting the unique and beautiful, constantly evolving landscape and its wildlife. It's a great place for bird-watching. It's also an easy, safe place to practice camping skills. The area is accessible by a ferry that is in walking distance from the Long Island Railroad. For a private, exclusive experience I recommend NOT visiting on weekends or during peak season.
