Connecticut’s largest shoreline park spans two miles of Sound beaches, paved coastal paths, and quiet nature trails.
Description
Beyond the sand, the park expands into a 558-site campground and several distinct beach points. Near the eastern end, the Meigs Point Nature Center houses regional wildlife and science displays beside coastal jetties reachable at low tide. Visitors seeking quiet footpaths can explore the Moraine Nature Trail, while paved loops wrapping past the campsites support year-round biking, longboarding, and bird watching.
