Fire Island Pines is Alive and Well and Magical as Ever

As a longtime visitor and fan writes, even last year's nasty fire can't quell the spirit of the beach community.

The Fire Island Pines suffered one of its worse fires last year but the blaze obviously hasn't extinguished any of the beach community's beauty and ambiance.

As Robert J. Feldman writes in a blog on the Huffington Post Travel site, the Pines is alive, shops are open and the loss of the community's main dancing spot, the Paviliion, may just mean more dancing under the stars.

We all know that Cherry Grove right down the beach will fill any slack in the nightlife.  Private house parties will grow and become even more deluxe.  And maybe just maybe we will just dance on the beach more often.
