For those not aware it looks like there was a major fire in the restaurant last night at Watch Hill. Hoping that Doug and the rest of the staff are all ok.

8 slips have been blocked off. The rest of the marina is usable.
The worst damage looks to be the bar and snack stand. The roof burned through and other portions collapsed.
I’ve been wait listed for Sailor’s Haven for almost two weeks for tomorrow through Sunday. Not a huge Watch Hill fan, but was considering it as a backup plan. Between the fire at WH and weather report for tomorrow I decided to skip the weekend trip. Just cancelled my waitlist on Dockwa this morning.
FYI
I spoke to the Dockmaster at watch hill.
Rates changed to $1/ft weekdays and $2.50/ft for weekends.
Definitely a hike from you. Hope the winds cooperate and we can all have a good weekend.
What about casino restaurant at Davis ?It’s not the distance to Watch Hill, it's a pretty quick and easy trip for me, it’s the distance that Watch Hill is from anything else once I get there that I don’t like.
The bugs can be killer there too!
While we typically have breakfast and lunch on the boat when we overnight somewhere, we like to go out to dinner.
Watch Hill is too long a distance from other places. If the restaurant isn’t open there we don’t even have that as a choice for dinner.
It’s also a PIA for my daughter to come out from the city. That much further she has to take the LIRR and less frequent ferry schedule.
Hopeful you’ll have some nice weather for tomorrow.

15-20 walk from watch hill best restaurant on FIWe’ve never been to Davis Park, but may give it a try one of these days.
My personal opinion is stay at watch hill and walk to davis park. Watch Hill marina is much quieter and better protected.We’ve never been to Davis Park, but may give it a try one of these days.
After the endorsements here for the Restaurant at Davis Park, we’ll definitely have to give it a try at some point. Might possibly do an overnight as a non resident in Davis Park Marina. I’ve heard there is usually availability for non residents.
Stayed at Watch Hill a few times over the years, mostly because we had friends that were going with their boat, but don’t personally care for it too much.
Way too many bugs if there is no wind and too isolated from the rest of Fire Island for our taste. We like being a shorter water taxi ride to places like Ocean Beach.
Watch Hill is probably a better location for those that are looking for the quiet seclusion, or traveling with several other boats.
To each his own.
