Rocky Hill - all beaches

This is a fantastic place to spend some leisurely hours.

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.

This beach boasts a plethora of amenities including food, restrooms, showers, and entertainment options. The beach itself and ocean swimming are fantastic, although the water can be chilly. Families with children will appreciate the small amusement park, carousel, and arcade, as well as the full-service restaurant. However, the steep admission and parking fees may be a drawback for some visitors. Weekend parking costs $25 per car (up to 5 people per car), which can quickly add up for larger families or groups with multiple vehicles. Local residents can purchase an annual pass for around $40, making it a more affordable option for them. As a tourist, it's important to be aware of the potential costs before visiting this attraction.

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.

This beach is great for families, but it's a bit pricey with a $50 cost for parking and a beach day pass.

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.
