"With almost no cars allowed on the island (you'll have to arrive by ferry), there's a magical quality to the location that feels far removed from the city. From this Airbnb's deck, you can look out at the Atlantic Ocean, with a grill and deck chairs at your disposal." - Madison Flager,Alex Erdekian
"I've been beach camping regularly on Fire Island, in the Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness, the only federally designated wilderness in New York. My friends and I will bring bread, Spam, instant noodles, charcuterie, and Spanish conservas for a quiet, isolated weekend between sand dunes, 50 paces from the ocean."
