Pines Harbor and Marina

The tiny commercial district in the Pines encompasses a small, protected harbor on the north side of the community, fronting Great South Bay across from Long Island proper. The ferry boats from Sayville dock along the harbor, which is lined with a handful of shops, restaurants, and gay bars. This is very much the see-and-be-seen spot in the Pines, apart from the beach and the many private homes that host parties all summer long. In the background, you can see the three-story Hotel Ciel, the only full-size accommodation in Fire Island Pines.
