Fire Island is indeed an island. It's about 30 miles long, and just a few 
blocks wide. It sits immediately south of Long Island in the Atlantic. 

Like most, if not all, seaside areas on Long Island it is an expensive 
resort.  At one time was a favorite spot for NYC's gay community. Today 
most of the seasonal residents are what used to be called "nouveau riche" 
as opposed to the "old money" folks who continue a few miles east to the 
Hamptons.
