Due to sections of narrow beach, the area west of Bellport Beach to Long Cove is closed to driving until further notice to prevent further erosion and damage to ocean-facing dunes.
The Fire Island Lighthouse is located at the southern terminus of Robert Moses Causeway, just east of Robert Moses State Park.
