This is a fantastic place to spend some leisurely hours.

Hammonasset Beach

8 Aria Smith

The beach is quite pleasant and the restroom facilities are well-maintained. However, it tends to get overcrowded during peak season, so it's advisable to arrive early.

Jacobs Beach

8 Ariana Kellis

This cozy and serene beach is a hidden gem that exudes tranquility. Its pristine condition is what sets it apart, with amenities such as picnic tables, a playground, basketball and volleyball courts, and a water sprinkler area for children. Although it requires a fee of $70 for non-residents of Guildford, it is open to the public and allows dogs. The beach is not overcrowded, which makes it a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the peacefulness of nature. It is worth noting that the sand is decorated with numerous seashells, and jellyfish are present in the water. However, the absence of a daily pass is compensated by the availability of a season summer pass, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a relaxing retreat.

East Wharf Beach

10 Ariyana Kusuma

This beach is the perfect spot to witness both the sunrise and sunset. With ample parking and comfortable benches, you can relax and take in the breathtaking views. There is also a charming gazebo and a sandy beach to enjoy, as well as a picturesque wharf to stroll along. Many locals gather here to witness the sunset, though it should be noted that most have not been wearing masks.

West Wharf

10 Alyona Kozlovskaya

This Madison town-owned beach may be the smallest of the three, but it's packed with charm and activities. The Wharf provides a great spot for fishing, while the beach itself is a favorite for wedding crowds looking for post-ceremony photo opportunities. During the season, visitors can also enjoy claiming and oystering. The views of the Westside and Tuxis Island are simply breathtaking. Don't let its size fool you, this beach is a hidden gem waiting to be explored.
