First and foremost of our attractions is one of the most lovely beaches in the Northeast!
A half a mile of pristine "sugar-sand" beach gives you and the family plenty of room to spread out and enjoy your day in the sun. C'mon in... the water's fine... and so is that sand. Build a castle... sculpt to your heart's content... OR... just lay your towel out and bask on its meticulously-groomed comfort!
Along the side of the boardwalk opposite the beach, you'll find all the rest Ocean Beach Park has to offer. A nature trail, a picnic area, playground,
brand new free sprayground, our pool, a gift shop, food and drink galore (with a sidewalk cafe kinda feel) and so much more...read further for more individual descriptions of some of our highlighted offerings.
Relive your own childhood as you watch your kids enjoy all the lovingly restored, old-time,
kiddy rides. From the classic and graceful carousel, a little train ride, to the rest of the rides, which consist of all those you most fondly remember...the little bumble-bee-painted flyers...the kid-sized spinners...the tiny cars for their first "driving experience".
We've expanded to include some grown-up rides as well, including those old favorites, The Scrambler, The Octopus, and The Bullet! AND...on Monday nights, there is still a special price...$1.01
kiddy rides
We have a fine 18-hole miniature golf course that's sure to be fun for the entire family. The area where it is located is wonderfully landscaped and the views are as good as from anywhere else in the park. This is another Monday night deal, as well, at $1.01 per person per round. So c'mon out and try your hand at
putting' through the windmill...or test your skill against the whale...Ocean Beach's stalwart mascot. The entire course is great!
Ocean Beach Park also boasts a 50-meter,
Olympic-sized pool. We have changing rooms and token-operated lockers for
your convenience In addition, there is a great waterslide for when simple "laps" just won't do!
With all Ocean Beach has to offer in the way of activities, we're pleased to announce that we also have a wonderful center of leisurely inactivity, where you can sit, relax, and enjoy a fine variety of food and beverage, with table service, or play a friendly game of pool, watch a game on the TV's, listen to the fine jukebox, or just visit with good friends on the outside deck over the food concessions. Looking out over the Thames River outlet, where it converges with Long Island Sound and the Atlantic, the view is lovely by itself, but there are the numerous ferries, sailboats, other traffic...and even the unique opportunity to view an occasional submarine! This is also a wonderful vantage point for viewing our weekend free concerts on the boardwalk stage!!!
