Part of the Fire Island National Seashore, Barrett Beach/Talisman is located near the center of the seashore, across the Great South Bay from Bayport and Sayville on Long Island. The area offers a dock for boaters to load and unload only, a boardwalk trail leading across the island to the ocean beach, restrooms, and a picnic area. At this time, this National Park Service site is only accessible by private boat and on foot, or by charter ferry service from Patchogue or Sayville. Pets are not permitted on the ocean beach from March 15 through Labor Day. Dogs on a leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed on the ocean beach during the off-season, from the day after Labor Day to March 15th. Dogs on a leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed on the bayside beach year-round, on ferries and water taxis.
