From the reviews

A Perfect 50th Birthday Celebration at The Palms! We recently stayed at The Palms on Fire Island - Coral Cottage- six girlfriends to celebrate our 50th birthdays, and it could not have been more perfect.

★★★★★ — Kristine, Aug 2025

We absolutely loved our stay at The Palms. Everyone was extremely accommodating from the second we checked in and throughout our entire stay. When we arrived they saw we were a large family and knew we needed a bigger room which they were able to make happen for us.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Jun 2024

Another amazing stay at the Palms! Cannot beat the location. It’s right in the middle of town and a two minute walk from the ferry. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and more attentive. Hotel provides everything you need for the beach, which alone is worth it to travel without towels, chairs, umbrella, etc.

Getting married at The Palms Hotel Fire Island

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
