- Cherry Grove 🍒 Fire Island NY 🔥🏖 Friday night walking tour to the Atlantic Ocean New York USA 2021
Cherry Grove (often referred to locally as The Grove) is a hamlet in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York, United States. It is located on Fire Island, a barrier island separated from the southern side of Long Island by the Great South Bay. The hamlet has approximately 300 houses on 41 acres (170,000 m2), a summer seasonal population of 2,000 and a year-round population of 15.
Cherry Grove, along with nearby Fire Island Pines, is considered one of the most popular lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)-accepting resort communities in the United States. The New York Times quoted one homeowner at Cherry Grove that, "this is a wonderful environment where you could be gay and open and hold hands and enjoy life...."
In 2013, the Cherry Grove Community House and Theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, one of only a few sites so far listed for their role in American LGBT history.
The founding philosophy of Cherry Grove is to be place to “Be Yourself.” The LGBTQ community comes here to enjoy the beach and the infamous nightlife. Every 4th of July, a ferryboat load of Drag Queens “Invade the Pines” and much merriment ensues. They also host the Miss Fire Island Contest at summer’s end and the Community Theater productions are top notch. Come to the Grove and be your happiest self. The Grove is a wet T-Shirt contest kind of town. Ferries leave from Sayville
The Grove is the wilder side of the gay scene and people feel free to be themselves here.
The dense foliage creates canopies over the roller coaster boardwalks. The homes, like everything in The Grove, have a sense of humor.
The downtown area and bay front has lots of shops and restaurants. Cherry Grove has one of the only two oceanfront restaurants on Fire Island.
Fire Island runs from Democrat Point / Fire Island Inlet in the west to Moriches Inlet / Cupsoque Beach in the east.
Fire Island is 31 miles long and 2 - 3 blocks wide and is comprised of about 20 distinct communities
Neighboring Long Island is 118 miles long
The name of Fire Island first appeared on a deed in 1789

1863 Fire Island separates from Jones Beach
There was a time when Fire Island was connected to Jones Beach Island, a single island stretching 60 miles from Jones Beach to South Hampton. The Fire Island Inlet naturally formed in 1863, and was later expanded through manpower, once over 9 miles wide before shrinking to its current width.

1931 Fire Island separates from Southampton
A 1931 Nor’easter caused the formation of the Moriches inlet and resulting in the separation of Southampton and Fire Island. Local efforts have protected eastern Fire Island with a series of jetties that have interrupted the longshore drift of sand from east to west which is blamed for the beach erosion.

Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy (unofficially referred to as Superstorm Sandy) was the deadliest, the most destructive, and the strongest hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. The storm inflicted nearly $70 billion (2012 USD) in damage. Sandy was a Category 3 storm at its peak intensity when it made landfall in Cuba. While it was a Category 2 hurricane off the coast of the Northeastern United States, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record as measured by diameter, with tropical-storm-force winds spanning 1,150 miles (1,850 km).
Hurricane Sandy was referred to as “Superstore" Sandy because it had lost some of the traits needed to call it a hurricane. Sandy developed as an ordinary hurricane in the Caribbean, but as it moved up the East Coast and encountered cooler air and water, it began to loose its tropical characteristics. Hurricane Sandy was no longer a hurricane when it made land fall on Fire Island which is why it is also called Superstorm Sandy. The October 2012 storm generated the highest storm tide ever recorded in New York, reaching to nearly 14 feet in height, about 9 feet of which was from storm surge.
