Review:

If you’re traveling with family or younger visitors, then one of the best state parks to explore in Connecticut is Hammonasset Beach State Park. The park is filled with facilities and activities to make your stay more pleasant; some of these include bathrooms, showers, pavilions, picnic tables, concessions, a boardwalk, a car top boat launch, and a nature center. It is the largest beach park in the state and is filled with visitors wanting to take a refreshingly cool dip in the summer. You can choose from an array of activities such as walking the trails, bicycling, swimming, fishing, picnicking, or camping on one of their 550 grassy campsites. The nature center hosts several programs and exhibits throughout the year and can accommodate visitors of all ages and skill levels.
