Ho-Hum Beach, located on Fire Island, is a village-owned beach with access by both private boat and village ferry.

The beach is solely open to village residents and their guests, as well as summer home renters with a village-issued pass at a cost of about over $500 per year. The pass allows access to several village amenities, including the tennis courts and golf course.

Ferry rates are $11 for weekdays; $14 for weekends for residents; $5 on weekdays and $6 on weekends for youth residents; and $17 on weekdays and $20 for guests, or $13 on weekdays; and $17 on weekends for youth guests. There are also special prices for seniors. Guests must be accompanied by their host resident to the ferry.

According to former mayor Ray Fell, who served the village for 10 years before retiring in 2023, the beach was purchased by Bellport Village in 1963 for $25,000. At that time, the village assumed responsibility for the maintenance and created it as a village amenity paid by tax dollars.

In September 2018, at the request of the village, the Brookhaven Town Board authorized an annexation to the Village of Bellport. However, according to supervisor Dan Panico, the approval of the annexation was made subject to one specific condition: the continued use and benefit of the property known as Ho Hum Beach for the residents of the Town of Brookhaven.

Access to Ho-Hum Beach, as of last year, has been highly debated and in the midst of a legal battle between the village and the town.
