Hammonasset Beach State Park

What a fantastic park! The grounds are immaculate and everything is well marked. Facilities are clean as well. The highlight is definitely the nature center. There is plenty to see and interact with and the staff is friendly and informative. Doesn’t matter the age, there’s something for everyone here!

Terrific state park! Large parking areas, a few EV spots are available too! The beach is long and relatively clean. Ample picnic areas throughout the park. Camping areas as well. Concession and bathrooms are easy to access. The boardwalk makes gettingf rom area to the other easy.

Beautiful beaches. Gorgeous large park We spent this beautiful fall day walking along four different beaches here!! Stunning. Quiet. Free today. Plenty of parking. Clean restrooms. Loved this stop on our way home.

Beautiful beach to swim or walk you dog, bikepich sea shells and do it all. Definitely plenty of parking with grills and a public restroom.

Great place! Not sure how much it costs on-season, free in the off months. A good little stop off if you're looking for little waves or a cute visitor center.

It’s a really nice safe place to bring the kids. They also have a lot of handicap parkings and bathrooms near the beach. Is big enough so everyone can get a good spot. The people that I met here are really respectful and nice we work together to keep it clean and safe for families.

Great place to visit, well maintained, the electric car chargers, even if not advertised (which can be a good thing lol) were available. They should fix the one at the end of the last beach parking as it doesn't work anymore.

Terrific spot with easy access. Well set up and clean facilities. Meg's point nature center adds a nice touch. Lots to see and learn.

Off season - camping would be nice -you can walk on thru the camping area in off season - the grassy lots are right over the sand dune - it’s just beautiful in the colder months. Different type of crowd gathers. The beach extends down to the salt marsh. They have a paved walkway from one end of the park to the other behind the sand dune. Even with decreased offering like no open stores or showers people that camp in the wildness understand this. Roughing it is understood and desired by many, because a certain type of people joy this type of camping.

This place is pretty big. Plenty of sites and space. Easy to find locations. Easy on and off of HW. The beach was very nice but unfortunately had a lot of debris wash ashore overnight. The crew that was there was very helpful and told us to be careful if we were to stay at the beach.

Been going here for years with friends and family to camp and go to the beach. Always a great time and a great place to make memories.

I love it here! It’s my happy place and it’s close to home. Beach is clean and they have some nice waves. There’s restrooms and a snack stand which is cool if you don’t have time to pack a cooler.

The best place for the sunset 🌅. A great asphalt walking trail within nature. Ample parking and overall a slice of heaven 🫶

This state park has everything you want and then some. Even during non summer months! Parking is always going to be hit or miss but if you go early enough, you’ll be fine. Parts of park have walking trails, spots for collecting shells, and lots of opportunity for bird watching.

Great beach with plenty of area to spread out… free for CT residents…. When off season its free for all..

Large state beach. 3 sections. Ample parking. Camping available too. Free for residents. Not many, food options. Open to dogs on specific dates during off season. There is a nice long paved trail to walk, bike, board.

A wonderful place to come relax for a bit or spend a day at the beach.
The park is beautifully maintained. The beach is clean. The boardwalks are well maintained.
This is a lovely place to bring a book and read for a bit, watch the sunset. Or you can come spend a day at the beach.
It is free to state residents.

There are campsites for RVs and tents as well. Concession stands too- seasonal.

Be sure to check out Meigs Point as well as the actual beaches. Meigs Point has some great views and when i was there lots of Monarch Butterflies. I'm not a summer beach person but this time of year is ideal for someone like me just looking to get some photos. Park Ranger I spoke to was very friendly and knowledgeable. And as a CT resident, the free admission can't be beat.

Wonderful time at this extremely fun beach there are stuff for everyone I love going to this beach whenever I have the free time and having a blast the people who come to this beach are nice and respectful to others and the management of this beach is extremely good whenever I go there is not trash on the beach or in the water the people who work here put extreme effort into quality of their work

Hammonasset State Park is a gorgeous beach. Beatiful views of Long Island Sound.
Minimal waves so great for those who enjoy floating, swimming, good for young kids.
Bathhouse with outside showers and indoor restrooms and changing rooms.
Well maintained when we were there.
