Cherry Grove

Cherry Grove is one of the best-known spots on Fire Island, offering a relaxed coastal setting with a strong LGBTQ+ identity. The community has a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere shaped by the beach, the dunes, and a car-free environment that encourages people to slow down. Instead of large-scale development, Cherry Grove is defined by intimate houses, narrow paths, and a sense of privacy that feels both peaceful and social.

Visitors come here for long beach days, casual dining, local nightlife, and a distinctly inclusive spirit. The area has a reputation for being artistic, friendly, and unpretentious, making it appealing to travelers who want both escape and connection. Its oceanfront location adds to the appeal, with easy access to sun, sand, and sea. Cherry Grove stands out as a destination where nature, community, and queer culture come together in a uniquely memorable way.
