Umbrellas and Sandcastles
A Photo Tour of Connecticut's Biggest Beach
Hammonasset Beach State Park is Connecticut's biggest beach. It's ideal for families and just an hour's drive from Hartford.
Colorful umbrellas give the West Beach at Hammonasset a festive look, and by the time we arrived, the beach was already dotted with examples of kids' sandcastle handiwork. The gentle waves of Long Island Sound make Hammonasset an ideal family beach.
