Our tours begin at the marina, which supports the daily workings of six individual oyster farms. Here you will be able to see the beginning nursery stage of an oysters life as we board the boat. After a short ride across the pond guests will arrive at our lease and see first hand the farming operation as well as get to taste the product!

We arrived at just before 3pm on a cloudy Saturday in July and was able to park fine. $14 for out of state visitors, paid cash. There was a sign farther up the road saying the lot was full, but we took a chance figuring that other people had left and, sure enough, there were spaces available. I think the beach is above average for the area. The beach was wide, clean, and long, with enough room to have plenty of space between groups. The water was refreshing and pretty choppy, which is the way I like it; more fun than the calm CT beaches farther west on the Sound. There is no housing or commercial development so only dunes were behind us, making for a very relaxing atmosphere. No amenities beyond some composting toilets and port-a-potties in the parking lot. We'd definitely come back!

This beach is clean and beautiful with great waves and is not a ton of walking to get to from the parking like Scarborough is and some others. Nice vendor selling frozen lemonade and hot dogs. Lots of families and not many teens etc. Life guards right there. But it is popular and not a large beach so unless you do want to walk a ways it can get cramped.
