Summer is a time to get out and have some family fun. Nothing is more fun than hitting the beach and have a good time with a family staycation. Ocean Beach Park in New London has all of the attractions that will help you make summer memories your family will enjoy for a lifetime.

From its first opening day on June 30, 1940, Ocean Beach Park has been a highlight of New England family fun in the sun. The entertaining environment is like attending the best parts of an exclusive beach club without the high price.

From the first moment you hit the beach, you will notice how perfectly white and soft the sand looks. The sugar sand is not only the most comfortable place to catch a few rays of sunshine, it's also perfect for building sandcastles.

The sugar sand beach is well maintained and sifted by tractor a few times a day to make sure it continues to hold its pristine glow.
On the opposite side of the beach you'll find entertainment, shops, food, and fun on the boardwalk. Regular entertainment, and events from local magicians to top name performers, remind everyone that summer is the time for fun.
