Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Stretching for more than two miles along Long Island Sound, Hammonasset Beach State Park is the longest stretch of public beach in Connecticut. The beach can get quite busy during the summer, but it has plenty of space to swim and sunbathe, and there's also a charming boardwalk. There are also more than 550 campsites to choose from, and amenities include restrooms with hot showers, a dump station for RVs, and a camp store. However, fire pits are not provided. The campground is open between Memorial Day and mid-October, and reservations are strongly recommended, particularly on summer weekends.
Beach and watersports are equally enjoyable, but for those who want to simply relax, working on your tan is just as acceptable. At any time of the year, strolling along the boardwalk at the state park is a lovely way to stretch your legs and get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. For those who want a little more physical activity, you can set off on one of the park’s walking trails, go bicycling through the trails or participate in car-top boating. Make sure to pack a picnic lunch and your choice of non-alcoholic beverages to complete your day at the beach or to pack a tent if you want to take advantage of the fantastic camping facilities at Hammonasset Beach.
