“Where can you go one hour from New York and be completely alone on a beach?” (Women’s Wear Daily)
Beach lovers enjoy Ho-Hum Beach (called Bellport Beach by
most residents) which is the jewel of the Village and is located
on Fire Island between Smith Point County Park and Watch Hill
/ Fire Island National Seashore on the ocean. It is serviced by
the village-owned 42-passenger ferry, the Whale House Point
or by private boat. The Beach is rarely crowded, with 65 or 70
visitors considered unusual. Following local custom, residents
and guests line up their sandals and sneakers at the head of
the stairs that lead down to the beach. There is a beach
concession for food and snacks and lifeguards are on duty
when the ferry is in operation
