BAY SHORE, N.Y. — A small plane made an emergency landing on the beach on New York's Fire Island on Monday and the two people on board were uninjured, authorities said.

The single-engine Piper PA-28 landed in Atlantique at about 12:15 p.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson Tammy L. Jones said.

A Suffolk County police spokesperson said no one was hurt.

Atlantique is one of the smaller communities on Fire Island, a barrier island along the south shore of New York's Long Island. It is accessible by ferry from Bay Shore on Long Island.
