Hammonasset Beach State Park

Hammonasset Beach State Park is unquestionably one of Connecticut's top vacation places with almost two miles of sandy shoreline. It is a terrific spot to go if you just want to kick back, relax, and sunbathe on its enticing sands while soaking up some rays. Swimming is both fun and safe because of a stone breakwater erected in 1955.

Aside from its large beach, the state park offers a variety of pleasurable recreational activities, including cycling, hiking, and camping. There are around 550 campsites in the park and several rustic cottages.

Saltwater fishing is permitted on two jetties during the day, and night fishing is permitted along the beach during peak season. Winter and summer flounder, bluefish, blackfish, weakfish, scup, and striped bass may all be found here.
