First, I live in western mass and most oceans are at least 2 hours away, but not this jewel! It takes me exactly 1hr & 10 minutes! As soon as you get off free way Rocky Neck State park is right there!!! Ample amount of parking. Showers & restrooms, concession stand, picnic tables & camping!

The area is nice for camping and is well kept....although, the water has a seemingly ongoing problem with sewage so you can't swim all the time. If you are going to be camping, get there very very early...the spaces fill up very quickly. But overall, a nice area.

Niantic is the near town with a movie theater and a few nice restaurants. Not a great beach but a convenient one for CT folks and families

Rocky Neck has something for everybody in the family: warm water, fine sand, picnic tables, crabbing, fishing, walks and hikes, wildlife, snack bar. Best beach on the sound for young children.

I visit this beach every couple of years when I'm staying in the area. The beach is always clean and not much seaweed to be found. I LOVE the boardwalk that runs along the back of the beach. It makes it so easy to wheel your beach stuff until you find the spot you want, Then it's just a short...
