Whether you're looking for a peaceful morning stroll or a breathtaking sunset, the paved boardwalk offers stunning, unobstructed views of the Long Island Sound. It is impeccably maintained, making it a perfect, accessible escape for everyone. It’s a fantastic spot for a leashed walk with your pup while enjoying the salt air. The combination of rocky shorelines and lush green spaces is incredibly rejuvenating. It feels safe, welcoming, and captures that classic New England shoreline charm perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone needing a fresh breeze and a scenic view! Stowe's Seafood is the perfect place to grab a lobster roll to enjoy after a walk. It truly completes the West Haven shoreline experience!Stowe's Seafood as the perfect place to grab a lobster roll to enjoy after a walk. It truly completes the West Haven shoreline experience!

This is a great beach along s long shoreline of beaches. The good thing Scott this I've is that is had easy paid parking, access to bathrooms and tons of shells! If you like looking at shells, is hard to find a beach work that many. I've done staff, they were 2 feet deep! The other brackets amount the boat didn't have an many shells as this. It was a bit dirty, but not as bad as some other places I've seen.

Another trip to CT landed me at Savin Rock Beach. Very pretty location. There is a nice divided walkway with a bike lane as well. Many gorgeous pictures to be taken here. As you come to the end (or beginning depending on which direction you started) of the trail/walkway there is a nice park for the kiddos. Slides, monkey bars/jungle gym. There is a parking fee if you aren't a resident.

Stunning park! We enjoyed the serenity of the area. Beautiful place to stroll, sit or exercise. We were there on 9/11/25 during the memorial service. It’s was well done.

A good walk on a paved path along the shore with a nice breeze off the ocean. Lots of four-legged friends to socialize your dogs with! Many piers, benches & picnic tables to rest at with some outhouses, too. There was also a food truck to grab some drinks & snacks at.
