Summer is in full swing, which means a lot of Long Islanders are heading to the beach.

But so many Long Islanders don't know about some of the best beaches on the island - Fire Island.

In this week’s Road Trip: Close to Home News 12’s Erin Colton takes you to all the hot spots on Cherry Grove!

After you get off the Sayville ferry, stop at Floyd’s for breakfast.

Then head right to the beach, because Fire Island has some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world.

Head to Sand Castle after, it’s one of two waterfront restaurants on the island, or to Cherry Grove Pizza for a slice.

End the day the summer way with some ice cream from Sweet Licks.  The only way over to Fire Island is by ferry or Great South Bay Boat Charter.
