5 reviews for West Haven Beaches
So, it's not Bermuda, but I live near the West Haven beach and love it! I've done everything there, ahem, almost everything. Heck, I even got married at Bradley Point.
You can walk along the boardwalk, bike, rollerblade, swim, walk your dog, play bocce, horseshoes, visit the veteran's memorial, explore during low tide, fish, walk out on the pier, watch fireworks on the 4th...the list goes on and on. My husband and I usually drop our kayaks in the water here and always have a great time.

Honestly, is there anything the West Haven waterfront doesn't offer?
A "boardwalk" (well, a paved walk along the water) with well-marked mileage, a grassy park with a bandstand, dancing for senior citizens, a small children's playtoy, tons of benches, a well-secured bocce court, a veterans' memorial, beach volleyball, a skate park, piers, sandy beaches, rocky outcroppings, lots of opportunities for fried seafood, parking spaces for non-residents of West Haven . . . you can even swim if you dare and some people do.
This is one of my absolute favorite places for people watching in the New Haven area. There's always lots of families, and people with incongruous, well-socialized dogs.
We never thought it right to jog or ride bikes here, because it's so busy. But on a weekday during the regular at work hours you wouldn't get in anyone's way.
We recently walked here after dark in winter. There were a few joggers and dog walkers and it was lovely.

I go kayaking out here on occasion but I would never swim in that water. I see all sorts of brown lumpy things floating around in New Haven harbor. Nice view but definitely not water I would swim in.

I used to live in the large Apartment building at the end of cambell Ave by the beach. The times I walked the boardwalk was great. Watching the elderly dance during the summer when they have a DJ on the boardwak is priceless and so is watching the guys play boche. You have everything around in walking distance and I agree that it is one of the best places to people watch. West Haven also has a number of events which are great to attend. By the way, my picture was taken right by the boardwalk.

You wont see me swimming in the water here any time soon, but I do love the beaches. I used to go rollerblading here on occasion, and this was my late night make-out spot for nearly a decade. For the record, all the girls were willing participants... as hard as that may be to believe.
