Jennings Beach
6 Radiant and Delights

This beach is quite familiar, especially if you're looking to have a good time with the kids.

Seabluff Beach
10 Nico Romano

Wow, this beach is absolutely stunning. The water is remarkably cleaner than Hammonassett Beach, although it is a bit colder. Non-residents can expect to pay $2.5 per hour for parking. The sand is immaculate and free from any shells. Despite being quite busy, the beach is still spacious enough to enjoy without feeling overcrowded. There are plenty of activities to enjoy such as swings, volleyball, and even porter-putty. I have definitely found my new favorite spot.

Bayview Beach
10 Aiden McAllister

The pristine beach in this secluded location is impeccably maintained, with not a single speck of litter in sight. Its exclusivity adds to the allure, providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere for those seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

East Haven Town Beach

This is one of my favorite spots and we make an effort to visit frequently. The picnic area is fantastic and the nearby playground is always kept in good condition. Unfortunately, parking is limited to residents only but it is conveniently located.

Walnut Beach
10 Ava Winters

This beach is perfect for a day trip! Although we're not from around here, we think this beach is fantastic. The parking fees may be a bit steep, but it seems to deter most of the crowds. I would definitely suggest checking it out.
