Boating
The park offers a variety of boating options for visitors. There is a boat launch available, allowing individuals to bring and use their own watercrafts. Additionally, the marina within the park provides docking facilities for those who wish to moor their boats during their visit. Fishing enthusiasts can also take advantage of these amenities as fishing from both shorelines and boats are permitted in designated areas throughout the year.

Bicycling
Bicycling is permitted on the park's main road, but caution must be exercised due to heavy vehicle traffic.

The five-mile stretch of Ocean Parkway offers a safer option for cyclists.

There are no dedicated bike paths or trails within this area.

Cyclists should always wear helmets and follow all safety rules while riding in high-traffic areas.

Please note that biking off designated roads can harm natural habitats and wildlife; it's strictly prohibited here.

Rental services aren't available onsite so bring your own bicycle if you plan to ride around the grounds.
Birding
The park offers diverse birding opportunities, with over 200 species recorded. It's a hotspot for migratory birds. The Fire Island Hawk Watch is an attraction during fall migration season. Birders can spot shorebirds and waterfowl along the coastline year-round.
