Ocean Beach Park, New London
Natural Feature
This beach hasn’t been voted one of the best beaches by National Geographic for nothing. White-sand beaches, perfect for lounging, stretch for half a mile, along with a wooden boardwalk on which to stroll. The Olympic-sized freshwater swimming pool is ideal for those not looking to get salty. When exhausted from all the swimming, families can get a thrill out of the 18-hole miniature golf course, a retro video game arcade, fairground rides and a carousel. Admission is per car (or walk-in) for the beach, and there are additional fees for the other activities. Facilities include bathrooms and changing rooms.
