Fire Island National Seashore
Amphibians
 
Around 30 species of reptiles and amphibians live within or visit Fire Island National Seashore, from giant leatherback sea turtles to the secretive Fowler's toad.
 
Fowler’s toad (Bufo woodhousei fowleri) and the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) are amphibian species identified on Fire Island. A greater number of species are found at the William Floyd Estate.

The first Fire Island Lighthouse was built in 1826 on the western end of the island. Today, Fire Island Inlet is more than 5 miles west of this foundation.
