About Davis Park, Fire Island

Davis Park is the easternmost of the Fire Island residential communities, with a glorious ocean beach and bay surrounded by miles of natural dunes and the Otis Pike Wilderness Area. Swimming, surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, clamming, crabbing and surf casting are popular activities.

We are a short boardwalk stroll through the dunes to the FINS Watch Hill facility with its nature walk and Ranger-guided events. Bisected by the Town of Brookhaven Marina, lifeguarded Town beach and Trustees Walk -- home of the Harbor Store and Snackbar, Fire Department, Post Office, Casino Cafe and CasBar (no gambling but great oceanfront dining and dancing) -- the Davis Park area lies to the West and Ocean Ridge area to the East.

Some 270 homes are enjoyed by families and renters from Long Island, the City and Metropolitan Area, with ferries from March through November leaving from Patchogue, a stop on the LIRR. Our boardwalks are for walking -- no bikes here. Our DP Medical Association provides a facility for non-critical care served by volunteer doctors in residence. Our very active Fire Department and community associations, the DPA and Community Recreation, Arts & Beautification (CRAB), as well as other community volunteers, throw a great July 4th parade and bbq, hold plant sales, raffles, swap meets and other community events, including a popular Arts & Crafts Fair, and work on beautification projects throughout the season.

General Information: [ more at Wikipedia ]

Davis Park has approximately 350 homes (130 in Ocean Ridge and 220 in Davis Park), one general store and grill,
one restaurant and one bar "The Casino". There is one unpaved road, commonly called the Burma Road, and wooden boardwalks.
There are no cars; except for emergency, utility and construction vehicles and a very limited number of private vehicles, which are only allowed through a strict permit process regulated by the National Park Service.
There are no street lights except in the marina area, resulting in fine night time star-gazing.
There are a Town of Brookhaven public boating marina, a (seasonally) lifeguarded section of beach (Leja Beach) and public restrooms and showers.

Davis Park is protected by the all-volunteer Davis Park Fire Department and by Suffolk County Police.

The non-for-profit Davis Park Medical Association owns a house, "Bedside Manor," on the dune in Ocean Ridge (631-597-6141), which is rented in season to doctors and nurse practitioners in exchange for their agreement to provide basic medical services through scheduled office hours and on-call availability. Bedside Manor is equipped with basic medical equipment and supplies. A helipad provides emergency evacuation capability.

Fire Island is said to be the only significant barrier island in the United States without paved roads and automobiles.
Its all-sand beaches, like other beaches in the State of New York, are public.
