Islip Life Guard District
The town of Islip established a district which is
responsible for providing life guard service to all of the Islip town
beaches on Fire Island. This includes; Fair Harbor, Kismet, Atlantique,
Dunewood and part of Seaview. It does not include Lonelyville (which has
no life guards) or Saltaire and Ocean Beach (which supply their own).
There are no deputy commissioners. This district owns no land in any
community. This district hires the life guards and supplies them with all
equipment necessary to insure the safe use of our beaches.
