OCEAN BAY PARK

Ocean Bay Park is a hamlet in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, New York, on Fire Island. To reach Ocean Bay Park, one must take a ferry or watertaxi from Maple Avenue, Bay Shore on the mainland. Although Ocean Bay Park is perhaps most well-known for Flynn's Fire Island bar, many residents and new families who prefer a more peaceful atmosphere than other communities have been drawn to Ocean Bay Park. Ocean Bay Park has a modest commercial stretch along the Bay Walk, which features a Fire Island hotel, three restaurants, bars, and a food market. Ocean Bay Park has one of Fire Island’s only bicycle shops, which offers bicycle rentals for exploring and cruising through its network of sidewalks.
