The beach is very clean and tidy. It is also good for family to go there and picnic. There is a good beach, spending time on the beach is also a nice way to spend time. There is a good trail along the beach which goes to a height from where the view of the beach is nice.

This was a busy beach when we went on a Saturday afternoon. There were a lot of people sunbathing but nobody in the water that day. They have clean restrooms with a large covered pavilion. You can also walk on the trails along the beach. I was told by a close friend that the lagoon across the beach is a great place for bird watching too. There were a lot of birds flying around when we were there.

The water was nice and warm very clear path on beach even with clutter of other guests. There are changing rooms in rinsing off stations as you exit the beach plus a small little bistro quick grab snacks. Plenty of parking spaces with multiple lots available plus there is a shuttle service offered for the campers

One of a kind park with camping and exquisite beaches, and best of all CT car plates get in for free. Their little museum is full of live animals too, so cool! The hiking trail at the very end is the gem though, beyond words how beautiful!

I was not aware of the fact that CT has such a beautiful, huge state park. Nicely maintained, clean, plenty of camping and picnic area. Like East Beach than the West beach because the East Beach was comparatively less chaotic. People were fishing happily. The cute museum in the parking was an additional attraction for any age of people.

This is a really beautiful park with trails, marshes and beaches. It’s rather large. It did cost me $24 to park as an out of state vehicle, even though I only I went for a sunset walk.

One of the best state parks on the Connecticut shoreline (I think) that has almost 2 miles of sandy beach front with paved paths and a walking / bikeing trail way along the shore, this park also has a massive campground in the inner part of the park. It has dozens of marsh ponds with osprey nests and abundant wildlife everywhere you look. There are also walking paths throughout the interior of the park as well. Numerous picnicking areas with many scattered pavilions. Megs Point is the main focus area with its nature center and outdoor educational classroom.

This is a beautiful park to go to for walking, bird watching, shell collecting ,swimming and sun bathing. These pictures only show the nature walk at Meigs Point. There's plenty of parking and bathrooms/changing rooms. The beach areas are beautiful and clean. My husband and I go throughout the year to walk and enjoy the beautiful views.

Big CT state campsite with 400+ sites. Non electric RV sites are nice. Electric sites must be booked 11 month in advance. 7 min walk to beach. Bring your own fire ring or you can rent at camp store.

This place is stunning. I am from FL originally and have seen beaches. Hammonasset has unmatched raw beauty. Today was one of the closest days of the year so far, and there was so much to explore. We found crabs and had fun collecting all kinds of shells and climbing rocks. The beach area right across from the nature center on Meg's Point is just gorgeous. I would love to come back when the weather is warmer. Bring a bike and you could spend an entire day here.
