The weather on Saturday was perfect for a trip to the Lighthouse, it was an hour and some change drive from Garden City where we were staying and I am always down for a road trip whether it is an hour or five.
Pulling up to the lighthouse in the distance was a sight to savor, its right on the beach so you can hear the ocean and see all the people excited for a day at the beach and all I could think about was the beauty of the lighthouse.
We walked along a board walk towards the lighthouse with different vegetation including poison ivy on either side of us which is indigenous to Fire Island. Poison Ivy turns red and is believed to be on of the myths surrounding the origin of the name as in the distance it looked the island was on fire which was the changing of the color of the poison ivy.
We opted to climb up the 182 steps of the historic lighthouse which is the 7th highest in the country and highest in NY State. There are viewing spots on the way up and one of my favorite is that every spot has a completely different view.
I will allow the pictures to speak for themselves.
Once we were all done, we headed back to the hotel to get ready to go to one of our new favorite restaurants in Garden City called Seasons 52 which is farm to table restaurant which adapts its menu to the current season. The food is amazing with reasonable prices and a great vibe to compliment everything.
