I have been going here for almost two years now to photograph the Osprey, and on my last trip it was amazing. They were fishing from the time I got there, and still going at it hours later when I left. There were also eagles there getting involved. It would be nice to get here more often than a few times a year, but it's worth it when I go. I'll post photos later.

Seasonal. Simple and beautiful. White sand beaches. Private outcroppings of rocks. A great place to unwind and have any recreational activities.

Best public beach in CT to just walk in the water. It's extremely calm with no real waves and very shallow. There's the usual beach food for sale and a few extra beach accessories for sale as well in case you forgot something. Parking is free for CT residents. It's a good sized beach, not huge and not tiny. The sand is also nice and fine in most areas.

The beach is absolutely stunning. The water is tranquil and perfect for swimming, as it remains shallow for quite a distance. Families often visit because it's very safe due to the shallow water extending over a large area. The sand is soft and the water is pristine, and there are lifeguards on duty for added safety.

Love the beach. It was Saturday, so there was too much crowd, but I still found some spot to have alone time. Enjoy my time. There is a nice trail, too. Lots of parking space. Good maintenance. Love the way they separate beach area n picnic area. Definitely visit next time.

Great place for picnic, enjoying the beautiful white beach and the gorgeous pavilion. We were there after labor day and it was bit chilly, so couldn't go into the ocean.but the views are terrific and you can walk around the pavilion.really good sweeping views of the Atlantic. If you are visiting during the winter and it has snowed, be mindful while you stroll around. Surfaces are very slippery

Very cozy small beach in a quite large state park with many tables. The sandy beach stretches out in a wave. Not much wind due to the train rail.right behind it blocking the air flow. it was warm enough under the sun in a 16 degree weather. Worth to see. Summer would be nice here.

Beautiful spot with an old huge hall(closed) near the water, large bald rock faces line one side of a grove of trees where you can look out at a huge variety of ocean rock features and there's also lots marshland walking area to observe birds and whatnot. Great spot, very busy in the summer, like so busy, off-season is pretty quiet

Rocky Neck never disappoints. Beautiful beach no matter what time of year you visit. Probably the cleanest shore park in CT. Take some time to walk the trails as well, the wetlands are spectacular too.

beach is great for little kids as the water tends to not be very deep and the waves are not bad. The whole park is kept pretty clean. Overall very nice.
