Which is the Best Beach in CT? Here's a Clue: Not Silver Sands

I have this thing about Connecticut beaches.

There are so few good ones that it becomes that much more important when you say one is the best, or one of the best. Each year, a dozen media outlets throughout the state will rank the best beaches and we always seem to get the same answer. Everyone crowns Silver Sands Beach in Milford as their top beach.

I like Silver Sands but I don't think it's the best. Whenever someone asks me this question I tell them the best beach is in New London. Finally, I'm not the only one with this opinion. On Monday (6/19/23) A-Z Animals put out their list of CT's Top Beaches and Ocean Beach Park in New London was #1. A-Z had this to say:

"Ocean Beach Park is one of New England’s best beaches. It is more than just a beach, it is an all-inclusive vacation destination featuring an Olympic-size pool, playgrounds, a restaurant, rides, an arcade, water slides, and a golf course. Plus, the sand is sparkling white, and the ocean is clear blue. Ocean Beach is in New London and is perfect for the whole family. While the park can get pretty busy during the summer, everyone has enough room to spread out."

My wife and I have taken two small vacations to New London and it was so worth it. The only reason I don't talk more about it is because I don't want to let the secret out. We talked about this on the I-95 Morning Show on Tuesday (6/20/23).

Seriously, lets not ruin a good thing. Can we please keep Ocean Beach Park clean and affordable, please!!!!!!

The Ridgefield Playhouse and I-95 have had a longstanding and fruitful business relationship.The Playhouse, it's leadership and staff have always been welcoming to us and we like to think we've been good to them as well.

I've been doing the I-95 Morning Show for 15 years and in that time I've had so many wonderful memories in that building. We performed our Ethan and Lou 10 year Anniversary concert there, I've met countless celebrities at the Playhouse and have attended many of their shows.

Many of the top flight guests we've booked on the I-95 Morning Show have been courtesy of our association with the Playhouse. But it wasn't just the rock stars that got invited to our studio, the people behind the curtain have always been regular guests on our shows.

Jared Shahid is the new Managing Director at the Ridgefield Playhouse but not a new face to us. Ethan and I have hung with him backstage, we've had him in the studio and he and I even worked on a TV project together.

Jared is one of the best storytellers I know so we were delighted to invite him back on the show. Recently, Shahid joined us on the the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou & Dave. Whenever he comes in, he brings tickets and stories for our audience. These are some of the amazing behind the scenes tales he shared with us on Thursday (5/25/23).
