Sunken Forest
Where the beach meets the woodlands. Sunken Forest is located on Fire Island. Trails cross through dunes and a forest that gives the illusion that it is literally sinking into the earth. End your hike with an afternoon basking in the sun at the beach. The LIRR offers roundtrips which include transport to the ferry through September.
