Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 3271582, member: 181"] After Labor Day, when parking fees & restrictions are lifted, which towns east of New Haven have beaches worth visiting? Mostly, I'm looking for places to walk along, or drive up to a view. Branford, Guilford, Madison must have some comparable to below. Basically, alternatives to Hammonasset. And, moving fully up the coast, anywhere else that locals enjoy. Here are some examples from Fairfield County & west of New Haven: Darien - Biking around Great Island Westport - Walking from Compo to Old Mill/Compo Cove OR driving up & parking at Burying Hill (October - May) PLUS sunset or moonrise at Compo Fairfield - Walking Jennings to Penfield & beyond OR driving up & parking at Sasco OR even walking Southport Beach through residential to Yacht Yard at the mouth of the harbor. Bridgeport - Walking the seawall path in Black Rock at St May's-by-the-Sea Stratford - Walking Long Beach to Pleasure Beach Milford - CT Audubon Society OR Woodmont West Haven - Walking from Stowe's in either direction along the shore OR walking Sandy Pt Bird Preserve. Metered parking year round now, however. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
