Fire Island, NY: Pines Beach

The words “Fire Island” have a certain connotation, one that’s fully realized in the Pines, home to some of the summer’s hottest tea dances and one-off parties. The beach, an extension of the area’s party mentality, is packed with eye candy, particularly those walking Adonises you see strolling down Chelsea’s Eighth Avenue. Nudity is allowed on the shore, but is more prevalent on the island’s Bohemian enclave, Cherry Grove.
