Saltaire Village Fire Island NY 🔥🏖 walking tour from the Great South Bay ferry marina New York USA 🇺🇸
The Village of Saltaire is a family community, upscale and elegant, yet casual, friendly and relaxed. There are no share rentals allowed and the vibe is low key and tranquil.
Incorporated in 1917, the architecture of this magnificent village varies from the original 1940’s “Coffey” houses with their distinctive arched windows and screened in front porches to Thomas Moore’s sleek, modern homes and the classic, comfortable beach cottage.
Every street is beautiful on Saltaire’s tree lined wooden boardwalks. The hook-shaped curve of the land created the Clam Pond, a wildlife refuge where herons wade for clams and the neighborhood hawk has her nest.
Saltaire is a throwback to a gentler time. The wooden boardwalks under canopies of trees take you through vintage cottages and ultra modern homes on your way from the bay to the ocean. This is a family village where kids (and adults) leave their shoes home and feel free. Explore this beautiful, serene village.

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.
