Fire Island Inlet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fire Island Inlet is an inlet connecting the Great South Bay with the Atlantic Ocean passing through a channel between Robert Moses State Park and Captree State Park directly opposite West Islip, New York.
It forms the Western border of Fire Island, New York and Eastern border of Jones Island.
The inlet has evolved over the years. Jones Island and Fire Island at one time were connected. The Fire Island Light, built in 1858, was originally on the inlet but is now six miles east of the inlet.[1]
