How do i get to Lighthouse beach in long island using the LIRR?

Question

Please i want to go for the weekend and also how is the beach over there. Is it clean, the people and i know it's a nude area.

Answer 1

By LIRR it's tough. There are Suffolk County buses going to Field 2 at Robert Moses, yet that's a three mile walk to the lighthouse at the eastern end of Field 5. Best way to RM Field 5 is to rent a car. Take the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, it will change to the Southern State when it enters Long Island. Take it to Exit 41 South. And just follow the Rober Moses Causeway until the end. Then follow the signs to Field 5. Once on the beach walk east for 1/4 mile to the lighthouse. Since we now live in a technological world with video and camera phones, I don't know if there are still nudies at the beach over there. Then again you never know.

Answer 2

from what i can see, you'd take the lirr, babylon branch from penn station, or jamaica, at babylon, continue on towards montauk. get off at bay shore, and from there get a ferry to fire island, where lighthouse beach is located. i would suppose that you can get exact directions as to which ferry might be more helpful on location.






Lighthouse Beach

Fire Island National Seashore

Long Island, N.Y.

Fragile, isolated and beautiful, Fire Island offers a place of excitement and solitude. Located just an hour from New York City off the southern shore of Long Island, Fire Island is pristine and protected; many areas are accessible only by boat, and there are no roads in the Fire Island National Seashore. For New York naturists, this is a place of retreat, community and relationships.

"It is a very accepting, quiet, mellow beach," says Michael Bradbury of Friends of Lighthouse Beach. "A lot of family and kids enjoy it, so you don¿t have to worry if you have a family with kids¿there are plenty here. It¿s not a party beach; it¿s a beach where you can come and be alone, where you can come and meet people or where you can come and walk up and down and see who is here."

Clothing-optional use of Lighthouse Beach is recognized by the National Park Service with signs, ranger patrols and an understanding that naturists are an important and vital user group.

Beach Brief: Lighthouse

Season: May¿September

Parking: Parking for a fee at neighboring Robert Moses State Park. Recommended arrival by 9:00 a.m.

User Group: Friends of Lighthouse Beach, P.O. Box 571, Babylon, NY 11702.

Directions: Take the Long Island Expressway (I-495) to Sagtikos State Parkway south or the Southern State Parkway, to find the Robert Moses Causeway south. Continue about 7 miles, going over two bridges, and watch for the sign "Robert Moses State Park" at the second bridge, where it ends at a traffic circle around a large water tower. Round the circle to a straight road and follow it to Parking Field 5. Park and walk toward the lighthouse to a boardwalk that leads to the beach. Stay about 200 yards from the lighthouse to be out of sight of casual tourists at the restored landmark.

Answer 3

Lighthouse Beach is reachable on foot from the westernmost parking area in Robert Moses State Park. You'd probably do better taking the Long Island Railroad to Bayshore and then taking the ferry to Kismet from which you would walk back westward to the Lighthouse. It is not a terribly long walk from Kismet to the lighthouse but it is no casual stroll either,I'd say between 1-2 miles. It is clean and it is a great crowd. There is an Econo Lodge in Bayshore that is one mile from the Fire Island Ferries.
