You know how much I love Candlewood Lake, but I enjoy mixing it up with a trip to the ocean occasionally. Ocean beaches have a different vibe, and when summer vacation clicks into high gear, and you and the kids are hot and sweaty, it's time to look for a body of water! Pack up the food, the kids, and the water toys; it's beach time!

From Harbour Point Beach in Greenwich to Esker Point Beach in Groton, Connecticut, offers over 90 beaches spanning nearly 100 miles on Long Island Sound. Many of these beaches are ideal for a family day trip.
