Introducción
El Parque Nacional Fire Island es un área protegida frente a la costa sur de Long Island, Nueva York. Ofrece una mezcla de belleza natural, importancia histórica y oportunidades recreativas. Los visitantes vienen a disfrutar de sus playas, senderos para caminatas y el icónico Faro de Fire Island, que ha guiado a los marineros desde el siglo XIX.
El área tiene una rica historia, que incluye la caza de ballenas y la piratería. Hoy en día, sirve como refugio para la vida silvestre y un lugar para actividades al aire libre. El parque solo es accesible en ferry o en barco privado, lo que añade a su encanto único, pero también requiere algo de planificación para los visitantes.
