Sunken Forest

Fire Island

"it always reminds me of a hobbit town"
Bring bug spray
Bayside path leads to secluded beach with shells

Walk an elevated boardwalk through twisted holly trees, sassafras, and wild cherry tangled between two sand dunes. This rare maritime forest feels like stumbling into another world, just steps from Fire Island's beaches.
