Visited on a September Saturday. Nice beach to sit and read or just relax. Clean bathrooms. Ample parking. Close to Casinos.

After coming back recently from vacation, then taking more time to enjoy what is left of Summer. This was a perfect spot and a wonderful time spent at Ocean Beach Park at New London, CT this past weekend. I dabble in a couple of hobbies and Photography is one of my many hobbies. We made a decision to be off technology and enjoy the time. Next time, more photos
Our time spent was overall enjoyable and relaxing with family. There is plenty to do Arcade, Amusement Rides, miniature golf, Pool, Water Slides, Sandbar Cafe, etc. Some of their attractions appear old, but appear to be properly maintained. In respect of the Beach, Beautiful...
The most part it is refreshing to view the scenery and soak in overall. We will be coming soon again to events at Ocean Beach Park, New London, CTHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - J B.West Hartford, CT78103Jan 24, 2024
Good place for a stroll on the boardwalk. Olympic size pool in season and arcade. If you are seeking a round of miniature golf, this would be the place to go and don't forget the ocean, Long Island Sound.

nice little beach. here off season but can imagine the crowds during the summer. got to catch the sunset which made the walk on the boardwalk nice, but it was cold lol everything looked "old" but not sure if I'd do any of it anyway - everything is in need of a facelift.

I came here thinking there would be things to do. The gift shop is small and pretty lame, sells nothing but shirts and sweatshirts which are overpriced. Arcade is closed and amusement park is old with only a few rides. The only pro is the beach which is beautiful and clean. Disappointing

Went with my family and was surprised at what a beautiful beach it was! There was soft sand, clear water and lots to do. We didn't use the pool or amusement rides or mini golf this time because the beach was so nice but it was great to see it all there. Will definitely go back.

Beach itself is nice. This place is stuck in a time warp. Very outdated. Was here on a Monday, free entrance due to the "car show" aka people burning out and doing donuts in the parking lot. I felt a little unsafe. I can't believe they charge $30-$35 per car typically for entrance! Where is that money going, certainly not back into the place or regular maintenance.

I love how the beach is clear and the water is clean & how beautiful it looks during the day time

Every once in a while, my husband comes up this way on the weekend and I help him do real estate work. By chance, he'd noticed signs for this Beach and I couldn't have been more excited! There's always something nostalgic for me- about the Boardwalk. And despite snow on the ground, it was a sunny and gorgeous- mind you......43°.
The only thing that came to my mind when we drove right in, is that it strangely resembles Rye Playland- minus the rides. If you're looking for heart pumping rides, Ocean Beach Park is more on the relaxed side. On the plus side though, there's a water ride that stands wayyy up high.
You'll get a better snapshot of Ocean Beach in the Summer when things are popping and the Concession stand opens. Who knows... maybe there are shops, and entertainment steps away from the water. Admission? I'm not sure- we just rolled right in, but check their website for answers and to find out about other attractions. I don't know about crashing waves, because Ocean Beach Park lies on the Long Island Sound- but the coastline is very pretty.Helpful 19Thanks 0Love this 21Oh no 0
