Robert Moses State Park - Long Island is state park of the U.S. state of New York. It is one of two state parks in New York to bear this name "Robert Moses State Park". The other, Robert Moses State Park - Thousand Islands, is in northern New York along the St. Lawrence River.
The park is located in southern Suffolk County on the western end of Fire Island, a barrier island off the southern coast of Long Island. It is known for its 5 mi (8 km) stretch of splendid beaches on the open Atlantic Ocean and is a popular summer recreational destination in the New York City area.
