Very nicely kept and historical buildings. Knowledgeable staff and interesting displays. I highly recommend going into the lens building to see the old lens of the previous lighthouse. They leave a small bulb on for you to observe.

The Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society has been doing great work for decades, with the lighthouse and with its associated history and artifacts. The lens building and display is first-rate, with a huge 19th-century first-order Fresnel lens on display amid interpretive materials. Of course, it is not just any lens - this lens used to reside in the lantern room of the lighthouse right outside the window. Even if the lighthouse wasnt there, the lens display alone would be worth the visit.

The lighthouse museum and gift shop at Robert Moses Beach on Fire Island. It is the only part of Fire Island you can drive to.... the museum is definitely worth a visit.
