It is the most social island in the whole state of New York. It is impossible not to see a pretty boy walking on the sand with his best swimsuit or a celebrity of gay New York come to put in the green in his villa near the sea. New York's stars and gays gather there all summer long to party and enjoy the beach. This small white sand island is located off the south coast of Long Island in New York and is a gay paradise in the United States, a unique island with 17 communities living on a 31 mile long territory. If you've never been to Fire Island, located in the suburbs of New York, you've probably never heard of this very gay friendly island.
