Fire Island Pines / Cherry Grove
Does anyone know what the current enforcement is in the Pines or Cherry Grove?
Here's what was posted in Fire Island Q News in May 2016:

"Good afternoon sir,
I hope all is well with you.
As you know, in 2013 Fire Island National Seashore has been in compliance with the New York State Nudity Law. Since then our approach has been to adapt, educate, and enforce this law fairly and consistently across the island on National Seashore property. The signs you saw are a part of our visitor contact and education approach and applies only to the Carrington Tract federal property. There have been identical signs both at Lighthouse Beach and west of Smith Point.
Although nudity on the beaches of Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines is in violation of the New York State law, U.S. Park Rangers will only educate and enforce this policy on federal property. They will not enforce it in front of any of the communities.
I hope this information provided some clarity.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
Thank you.
John
