- WELCOME: Point O’ Woods
Point O’ Woods, located on Fire Island, New York, USA, is a secluded hamlet renowned as a private vacation retreat. Boasting essential services including a ferry port, general store, church, and fire department, it caters exclusively to its members and their invited guests. Access to this idyllic enclave is restricted to those with membership privileges, granted either through the hamlet’s gate or via the private ferry service originating from Bay Shore, New York.
- History
Point O’ Woods, purportedly the earliest European-American settlement on Fire Island, shares this distinction with Cherry Grove. Established around 1894 as a haven for religious retreats, drawing inspiration from the Chautauqua assemblies, the settlement later transitioned to the ownership of the Point O’ Woods Association circa 1898 following the bankruptcy of the original organizers. Today, the association continues to oversee the hamlet’s affairs.
Functioning primarily as a summer getaway for association members and their families, Point O’ Woods attracts individuals not only from the East Coast but also from the West Coast and even a few families from abroad. The hamlet opens its doors in mid-spring, welcoming members and guests to enjoy its serene surroundings, and closes in early autumn, marking the end of another season of cherished memories and relaxation.
- Geography
Point O’ Woods, nestled within the Town of Brookhaven, finds itself nestled between Ocean Bay Park and Oakleyville. To the west, it’s separated from its closest neighbor, Ocean Bay Park, by a distinct six-foot chain-link barrier aptly dubbed “the Fence.” Nature provides another boundary to the east in the form of the Sunken Forest, a park situated below mean high tide level.
This secluded hamlet maintains its exclusivity by strictly regulating access. The ferry service from Bay Shore is privately owned, ensuring that only invited guests and members are transported to its shores. Uninvited visitors who manage to board the ferry may find themselves greeted by a vigilant association member upon arrival at the Point O’ Woods dock, politely but firmly directed to return to Bay Shore.
- Demographics
Functioning akin to a village-sized private club, Point O’ Woods is renowned for its insular and exclusive ambiance. The cottages, integral to the hamlet’s charm, technically belong to the association, which grants long-term leases to its resident members. It’s not uncommon for families to have summered in these cherished cottages for generations, contributing to the deep sense of tradition and community that pervades the enclave.
- Government
Point O’ Woods operates distinctively as it lacks the structure of a municipality and does not possess a formal government. Instead, akin to several other Fire Island communities, it stands as a privately owned parcel of land. Under the political jurisdiction of the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, its law enforcement falls under the purview of the Suffolk County Police Department’s marine bureau.
While the beaches remain technically open to the public, they are regularly patrolled by various law enforcement agencies including state and local police, as well as by the National Park Service and the United States Coast Guard, ensuring safety and order within this exclusive enclave.
- Education
Residents of Point O’ Woods fall under the zoning of the Fire Island School District. For primary education, students attend Woodhull School, covering grades Pre-Kindergarten through 6. Upon completion, families have the option to choose between the Bay Shore School District or the Islip School District for their secondary education needs. This choice leads students to either Bay Shore High School or Islip High School for their high school education.
