Point O' Woods is a hamlet that consists of a private vacation retreat on Fire Island, New York, United States.

On July 19, 1850 the English barque Elizabeth sank after running aground on the Fire Island sandbar just off of Point O' Woods.

Three days after the sinking, Fuller's friend Henry David Thoreau arrived at Point O' Woods to search for her remains.

The hamlet is separated from its nearest western neighbor, Ocean Bay Park, by a six-foot chain-link barrier known simply as "the Fence".

Uninvited visitors who board may well be met by an association member when they arrive at the Point O' Woods dock and directed to return to Bay Shore.

In addition, the community operates a small fleet of motor vehicles to conduct maintenance, recycling and pest control.

Mail is delivered to the Bay Shore Post Office by the United States Postal Service and taken by ferry to Point O' Woods, where it is distributed privately.
