Fire Island Pines has always sought to be a place of welcome for everyone. It has also benefitted from the work of LGBTQ+ activists across the country, some of whom have never set foot on its boardwalks.

Trailblazers Park, which honors LGBTQ+ pioneers—including women, people of color, transgender people, and other members of marginalized groups—is a public celebration of their contributions and a visible symbol of the community’s commitment to equality.

On May 23rd the Pines recognized its new Trailblazers with a celebration at the Pavilion. On June 21st at 11am at Whyte Hall ’s Committee on Black Equality will host a community conversation entitled “THEY’RE HERE” focusing on protest, protection and the art of community response.

The conversation will be moderated by Victor Jeffreys II (), and it will feature:

-Nile Harris (), a performer, director, and playwright

-Fran Tirado (*xuality), Editor in Chief of Them and organizer of the Annual Doll Invasion of the Pines

-Kei Williams (), CEO of New Pride Agenda ()

If you can, please join to reflect on our shared history and the ongoing work of building a community where everyone feels welcome. ()

Fire Island’s own, the one-and-only Robin Byrd, is back on the big screen, this time in a brand new documentary produced by Sarah Jessica Parker for HBO.

“Bang my Box: The Robin Byrd story” tells the story of this larger-than-life champion of free speech, q***r visibility, and safer s*x.

Her public access television show ruled New York’s airwaves from 1977-1998, where adult film stars and exotic dancers of all genders and s*xualities would hang with her while she hosted the ultimate low budget, s*x-positive party on the anything goes Manhattan Cable Television.

Now retired, you can find her (perhaps topless) walking her dogs on the Pines boardwalks or enjoying the specials at Cherry Grove Pizza. We love you !!

Catch the world premiere tonight and tomororw at the Village East by Angelika theater, or streaming on HBO Max starting June 30.

Next Saturday, join us for the third installment of the Bromley Caldari Architects house tour and step inside seven remarkable homes that have helped shape the look—and imagination—of the Pines.

These are spaces that are rarely open to the public, each with its own story of design, creativity, and island life.

And yes... there will even be a “Margarita From Hell” waiting for you along the way. 🍹

Let’s be honest, for many Pines people booze is one of the major food groups. However, for over 60 years, has been an essential stop on a trip to town for far more than the need to replenish depleted stocks.

For residents and visitors alike, The Pines Liquor Shop is a community hub where you can always find good conversation along with one of the best selections of wine and liquor on the East Coast.

Through the best of times and the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, The Pines Liquor Shop has played a central role in the life of the community in ways that go way beyond being a purveyor of wine and spirits.

Our newest Pines Profile tells the unforgettable story behind one of the most beloved institutions in the Pines — and the people who made it so much more than a liquor store.
