I absolutely adore this place. It has such a comforting atmosphere that I can visit any day and it always feels perfect. Tomorrow, I'll be bringing my son along with me. Peace out!

I went for a lovely evening walk to admire the shooting stars. Unfortunately, everything was closed at that late hour, so I'll have to visit during the day. The beach was pleasant and had an abundance of seashells. There was also a good amount of walking space along the shoreline.

The beach experience was extremely disappointing. The parking situation was inconvenient as it required downloading an app and providing personal information, including credit card details, while constantly being monitored by multiple police rangers who were checking for unpaid fees. Considering the large number of people, it would have been more efficient to have a single person collect the parking fees. The security on the beach was inadequate, which was concerning given the rowdy behavior of intoxicated visitors. Additionally, the bars and restaurants, if they could even be called that, were overpriced and the ordering process through an app was excessively time-consuming.

I really enjoyed it. This was my first time visiting the beach. There is street parking available. The beach was clean, although I did find two socks near where I parked. I visited today in early April, before Memorial Day, so luckily I didn't have to pay the high parking fee. It's quite funny that the entrance to the beach is on Hartford Avenue, considering I live near Hartford. It's a small world, isn't it?
