  • CORRECTION: At timestamp 2:25 it states the lighthouse marked the end in 1858, but actually the end of the island at that time was where the Robert Moses water tower exists today.
    A journey to Democrat Point and its story. Learn some history of Fire Island and it's ever-changing western peninsula. Beautiful views from the ground and air as we circle the entire western end of Fire Island. Come take a trip to the end of an island and witness mother natures ability to create land.

    I do this at Smith Point. Walk to the breach, it's only like 2 miles, and you;ll probably be there alone. It's beautiful

    My family took our boat through the channel and picknick on Democrat Point in the 1960's. Loved the place. The coast guard would man a very tall tower station and we would see them come and leave the tower. Once abandoned we would climb to the top and look out over the magnificent view. After one storm an old wooden ship was revealed in one of many 'moon craters' we called them. As teenagers we would have big fires on the beach and grill the fish we caught or the steaks we brought along. Ah, the freedom, then😁

    I’m there on average every 2 weeks. Love my surf fishing. I watched a gentleman about 100 yards down of me catch a 54 pound strip bass last week. My cowness! I’ve only seen those in magazines. What a beautiful place. Classy video great job!

    That was beautiful. Long Island is beautiful. I remember years ago walking to that rock jeti and it ended not long after. This year I walked back to end from field 2 with my husband and couldn’t believe the extended landscape. We never made it to the end of that peninsula in this video. it was such a long walk. But glad I got to see it in this video. I always wondered what was on the other side. I so appreciate this video. Loved it.
