Lighthouse Beach

[citation needed] After the Robert Moses Causeway was extended to Fire Island in 1964, word slowly spread, resulting in the clothing optional usage expanding greatly in the 1970s.

Originally, the entire stretch of beach was clothing optional, however there have been some complaints from users objecting to the nudity going back to the 1980s.

[4] Bathing suits are required at all times, and violators face a maximum penalty of a $5,000 fine and six months in prison.

[9] Since there is no vehicular traffic permitted in the Seashore,[10] visitors must come in from the Robert Moses State Park in the west or the community of Kismet in the east.

As with the rest of the Seashore, law enforcement is provided by National Park Service Rangers with occasional visits from the Suffolk County Police.

This image taken from the top of the lighthouse facing south shows the entirety of Lighthouse Beach. The parking lot of Field 5 of Robert Moses State Park can be seen next to the beach on the far right and the community of Kismet can be just seen in the mist on the far left.
