40. Connecticut: Hammonasset Beach
Stretching for over two miles along the Long Island Sound, Hammonasset is Connecticut’s largest and most popular shoreline park. Because it faces the Sound rather than the open Atlantic, the waters here are exceptionally gentle, warm, and perfect for young swimmers and waders. The beach features a massive boardwalk, extensive seaside camping facilities, and the highly educational Meigs Point Nature Center. It is an active, bustling beach environment where visitors spend the day swimming, collecting shells, and biking along the coast.
