Talisman, Fire Island

The pathway, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great South Bay, through the trees and over the sand dunes....

Notice the sand that has blown onto the walkway. With cutbacks in the spending for the National Seashore, workers will have a difficult time getting the beach ready for summer.

There are rarely ever crowds in this area, since the only way here is by private boat or by the ferries that travel from Davis Park or the Pines.

If you take the ferry, it's a long walk on the beach or through the dunes to get to Talisman.

I guess that's why I like it so much. No crowds!
