For most visitors, getting to Fire Island means hopping on a ferry. But there’s a quieter and quicker way onto the island, tucked at the edge of Robert Moses Field 5.

Park, walk to a yellow wooden hut at the end of the lot and hop into a colorful pedicab bound for Kismet, one of the island’s most low-key communities. There’s no schedule and no ticket line, just a breezy seven-minute ride along a sandy, car-free path.

The route, run by Fire Island Pedicab owner Justin Galbraith, has become a simple alternative to the ferry. “It’s the fastest, easiest way to get to Kismet,” he says. For the return, head to the old firehouse in town, where cabs wait for the trip back.

Along the way, you’ll follow Burma Road past the lighthouse and through dunes lined with beach plum and bayberry. It’s a surprisingly scenic stretch that feels more like a nature trail than a shortcut.
