New Concessionaire
at Fire Island
Fire Island National
Seashore has awarded a new 10
year concessions contract for the
operation of park facilities at
Watch Hill, Sailors Haven and
Barrett Beach. Included are two
marinas, a campground, three
snack bars, two convenience
stores and a restaurant.
The contract, awarded to
Fire Island Concessions, LLC,
owned by Sayville Ferry Co.
operator Ken Stein, includes a
committment by Stein to invest
$1,259,000 in facilities improvement. Included will be an
upgraded Watch Hill electrical
system and repaired docks and
bulkheads there. The Watch Hill
snack bar and restaurant will also
be renovated. The snack bar is
open this season, but the restaurant is not expected to re-open
until next summer.
Watch Hill will also get an
additional snack bar and convenience store. Marina improvements are slated for Sailors
Haven. Barrett Beach needs dock
work before it can open with
new ferry service, probably next
year.
