Fire Island Pines Open For Business!

Fire Island Pines Kicks-off Its 2024 Summer Season

The iconic Fire Island Pines revs up for summer and is ready to kick it into gear! Fire Island Pines became the place for gay men to congregate in 1952 when homosexual laws were still on the books prohibiting men from dancing together or engaging in gay acts. The island became a safe space for gay men from all over the world. It has also become the gay place for A-list celebrities to gather and play. The white sandy beaches, the flora and fauna, the charming architecture, and the expansive boardwalks make this a must-visit destination for the summer.

The Managing Partner of The Pines states, “The Pines continues to be a unique, magical place like no other on the planet. It truly is an LGBTQIA+ paradise that rests on the shoulders of its forefathers and foremothers who fought tirelessly for the protections and rights that we enjoy today. We celebrate them. It is why every day on Fire Island Pines is Gay Pride.”

You can get there from NYC on a two-hour ride on the Long Island Railroad to the busses to the ferry. You can fly into MacArthur airport which is ten minutes away. You haven't celebrated summer until you've visited Fire Island Pines.

Is Fire Island Pines on your travel list this summer?
