About Fire Island Lighthouse
Welcome to Fire Island Lighthouse, a historic lighthouse and museum operated with the help of the National Park Service and the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society (FILPS). Perched on Fire Island, this iconic beacon is more than a structure—it’s a piece of maritime history preserved for visitors, researchers, and families. While not a traditional indoor concert venue, the site offers seasonal tower tours, engaging exhibits, and community events that celebrate coastal heritage. Read on for practical details to plan your visit, including how to reach the lighthouse, where to park, and nearby lodging and dining options.
Whether you’re here for a family outing, a historical exploration, or a seasonal tour, you’ll find that Fire Island Lighthouse blends preservation with public access. Remember that tower access and event programming depend on staffing and safety considerations. When you’re ready to visit, secure your spaces ahead of time for tours and events where possible, and enjoy the surrounding Fire Island environment, with its miles of shoreline, boardwalks, and natural beauty.
