The Top Secret Beach In Connecticut That Will Make Your Summer Complete

Connecticut is loaded with beaches, many of which attract hundreds of visitors a day. In the summertime, folks can’t get enough of the coastline and it gets harder and harder to find a parking space and a space in the sand. But there are other beaches, just a little more hidden, that are practically state secrets. Jacob’s Beach is one of those gems that no one seems to talk about. But we’re letting the cat out of the bag.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Jacob's Beach is tucked in to the town of Guilford. It offers 25 acres of sandy shore off the Long Island Sound for a small fee. Residents can get season passes and non-residents pay daily.

The beach is equipped with a playground, boat rack, picnic area, grills, pavilion and bathroom facilities. Without all the people it's easy to find a spot here and it's considerably less noisy.

But it's also quite beautiful. Folks love the the way the shoreline curves and the beach homes are so perfectly New England.

At sunset, you are overwhelmed by the colorful sky. The small playground and boardwalk make it possible for the family to enjoy these views without getting sandy and wet but isn't that what summer is all about?
