Wonderful little beach tucked away in a rather industrial little town. I was referred to this place by a local dive shop to log a few dives while on vacation. Visibility was pretty good. And the underwater plants are about as colorful as the leaves out of the water

Always a great spot to relax. Never too busy to find a spot. Even in mid July the water is still cool and refreshing. Most of all the kids love it there. Plenty of room for exploring and swimming. A go to for us when were up here in CT! Also a great little snack bar is you dont bring any food. The clam fritters are awesome!

Best beach ever. Clean, great views. I cant wait to come back in the summer

This beach is okay. Sandy in most areas but most of seaweed on the shore as well. People are swimming here. Not very rocky so that is good. I can walk around bare foot, so thats good.

Really nice spot to sit by the water and watch sail boats and ferry traffic. Pleasant walk from here and through the very scenic Avery Point campus of University of Connecticut.

Excellent quiet peaceful beautiful and a good place to walk and collect shells and etc. Long beach..

Eastern Point is a beautiful place to spend some quiet in the evening, or even throughout your day to just watch the sunset and listen to the waves the perfect place to relax

Quiet, clean, post-season place to chat outdoors with ability to maintain social distance. Can be chillier than expected in October near the water, so take jacket/hat.Also, didnt see/have access to public bathroom so have escape route to a bathroom in mind, e.g nearby Walmart. Thank you, Walmart!!

Nice fishing. Open area to sit and enjoy scenery

Clean and bright, play area still closed but most of the seating is open for use.

Holidaymakers can’t go at moment. Beach only open to season pass holders (who must be city residents). Guess that’s to limit number of people because of Covid-19, which is fair enough. But thought people should know to save themselves the trip. Most beaches in the area are the same.

Eastern Point Beach has a beautiful view perfect for taking pictures and creating memories. Watching the sunset is a breathtaking experience

Nice little beach, only 4 stars because I feel they charge too much. And charge to park til 8 pm. Got there at 7:45 one night for sunset and they were going to charge $20. Otherwise, its right at the mouth of the river and clean. Beautiful spot.

A quite place to take a walk in the evening and enjoy the sunset.

Beautiful place to take a walk by the water.

Nice view but no good place to park that we found

Great little beach with clean and calm water. Great for kids.

Beautiful at night! A great place for a moonlight stroll

At the mouth of the River Thames with easy parking great Long Island Sound views and most of all opportunity to watch passing of a Submarine which in itself a treat while seating on stone ledge

Awesome. Cold in April. Just like i expected. Great visit

Staff is not good at all Rhond island beach is better than this

EPB is a great family beach. My boys and I love going every summer.

Free parking on the off seasons. Good to take a look at the sunset or the lighthouse.

Nice beach. No waves

This was the location for my wedding ceremony many years ago...During the pandemic, its so nice to have a place where one can just sit in the car, and enjoy the water, the wildlife, and nature in general.

Lovely beach, great kayak launching, convenient, clean, easy parking.

Love love love this place. Very baby and kid friendly

Amazing place....not so crowded

Good place for fishing, swimming and picnicking!!

Nice little beach. Had a concession stand . No waves.

Relaxing views in our tiny piece of heaven.

Its absolutely beautiful, non smoking and cleaned very frequently. My daughter loves the playground they have available.

Great beach, plenty of space on the beach and for parking. The porta potties seem to not get maintained very often though...

Beautiful local beach with a playground. Friendly staff, affordable concession stand & events throughout summer season. Def worth it to get beach pass.

Nice, family friendly beach. Great food at a great price. Watch out for the seagulls

Peaceful calming beach, especially after 8pm.

A beautiful view and a nice small town beach/playground.

Clean place for Vitamin D: The “sunshine” vitamin

Good family day

Small beach with calm water l, very senic at sunset

I love this place, is clean and family friendly, I highly recommend it...

Gorgeous year round! A great place to walk and view the beautiful ocean and lighthouse

Its not a bad place to just relax

Wonderful views, quiet peaceful place.

Spacious parking, lovely beach.

We have a mens group which meets down there every Monday for many years. The beach is great, but the park itself is one of the best places you could ask for for viewing the ferries coming into the Harbor. A spiritual place to boot

Just a gorgeous beach. The Groton community just loves it.

It is on the LI Sound and the Thames River so the waves are small. The water is usually clear. Not very rocky, but at times there can be a lot of seaweed. It is great for kids. No rafts, tubes, boards or ball playing aloud in the water. The concession stand is good, and reasonable priced.

Wonderfully relaxing place.

Great scenery, nice little beach on the sound with plenty of passing boats to view. 3 lighthouses within eyesight.

Kids enjoyed the day!

Peaceful place

Very tranquil, just hang out and enjoy.

Small and quaint... Family setting... Great views!!

Beach was clean, water warm enough to swim. Nice and relaxing. 4 stars because parking is $30 which I think its a rip off

This is small town beach, has scenic views of the Thames River and Long Island Sound. We had fun on the beach. This beach offers a beautiful view of the sunset with cool ocean breeze. The pictures you can take here are amazing! Unfortunately, there are entrance fees during summer!Enjoy evening sunset time!

A nice small beach . has both Rocky areas and a sandy swim friendly area . you get a nice view of the New london harbor light and Ledge lighthouse depending where you stand on the beach.

I love the concession food and I always come here. Best beach and the lifeguards are nice. Staff is always sweet and talks to you

One of my favorite places to watch the sunset , have a picnic or just bring the kids and family to the beach. Clean water, clean beach and clean bathrooms what more can you ask for well they could lower the price. They still where charging to park at 8:30pm .

Even in thick fog and drizzle, it was wonderful to stand there listening to fog horns and the sound of the surf on the rocks.

It was much better before all the changes. Its way too strict now, they should stop charging much earlier, and the people working the concession were totally rude. I always get a pass, but Im not sure this year. Its definitely not like it was when I grew up with the raft, and being able to actually play with floats or balls, and Pat and Bob at the grill.

Really a great place to watch for boats. We didnt intentionally go looking for any particular vessel to go by. However, my daughter noticed there were several Navy wives and figured that there would be a boat coming out from General Dynamics Electric Boat. Sure enough, the USS Indiana was on her way out for sea trials. Such a treat to be there when our states boat was going by.

Good place to watch for submarines.

During the off season its a great place to have lunch and enjoy the sights

Its a nice family friendly beauty. Unfortunately I am a smoker and there is no where for us to go. Limits my time there but its nice and clean and the snack bar is awesome.

I got married here!

Beautiful, specially for the sunset. Recommend for family and friend for a visit.

Visiting from Florida and still having fun. Strong seaweed smells right now though.

Absolutely beautiful n peaceful... perfect day for a picnic...

Great look out at subs going and coming and to watch tall shis of the past

Great place for beach volleyball. They have summer leagues from May- September. Usually on Sunday’s there is a tournament or pick up.

I absolutely love Eastern Point Beach! Its beautiful anytime of the day. The Sunrises and Sunsets are breathtaking! I feel blessed to live so close that I can go as often as I like. If youve never been, I promise you wont regret it!

Perfect sunset view!

Nice beach, very clean

Always a great time. The views are amazing of The Ledge Lighthouse.

It was very nice and then it hailed about 20 minutes after I paid a lot of money to enjoy the time here

Very relaxing place to walk, sit, think and watch the sunset.

Nice place

Nice beach with some important caveats.Good: decent sized beach area, two volleyball nets and a basketball court. Incredible views of where the Thames meets the Sound. You can see submarines and ferries somewhat regularly transit in and out. On-site rinsing stations plus showers and indoor toilets are nice. Small concession stand inside a large yet increasingly dilapidated building. Small playground for little ones.Neutral: cost is fairly low for a year-long pass, but for City of Groton residents only. Town of Groton and everyone else pays much higher fee that likely makes the cost not worthwhile. As a city resident, though, cost is fine for me.Bad: beach is incredibly rocky. Lifeguards are hyper-agressive and nearly ruin the experience by constantly barking orders at patrons. Cost quite high for non-City residents.

Cozy park to enjoy nature and watching ships go by.

This is a beautiful location with beach, playground, food concession. There is a charge if you dont have a beach sticker from the Town of Groton.

Food here is terrific for the price. And the high schoolers working the food stand do a great job!

We were the only ones there on a cold and windy October day. It was beautiful.

Love this place

Nothing like a beautiful beach to clear you head!

Best beach in Groton, cheap food, clean and soft sand, small waves. Grew up with its charm

Its just do beautiful n relaxing.

Its the perfect romantic spot all four seasons of the year.

Great views, good food with many choices with reasonable prices. Playground area for children, bench swings for all, beautiful beach with indoor and outdoor shower facilities, indoor bathroom facilities. Ramps provide access to the beach house and concession stand. Nearby basketball court. Nice area to walk around.Fees for access to the beach from mid June to Labor Day. Beach passes can be purchased from the City Administration Building on Meridian St. Or pay for day use when you enter beach.

This gem has become one of my favorite local beaches. The adjacent playground makes it an extra fun place to visit for young children. The wonderful snack bar makes an excellent addition for the whole family. There is a handicap access mat, public restrooms, grills, ample parking, fishing and kayaking access, and some of the friendliest staff you could hope for.

Nice area just to sit and watch

BEAUTIFUL .Nice. Free.

Great place for kids and awesome cheap snack bar!

Really nice family oriented beach with nice and going into the water and on the shore

Quiet, clean (except for massive seaweed today from storm!), and not crowded....people respected each others space.

Very relaxing watching the boats go by, and the seagulls catching crabs.

I grew up going to this beach and watched its steady decline. This was once a beautiful, small, and clean beach with a cheap and tasty snack bar. Now it just doesnt hold the same charm it used to. The food is pretty terrible and the prices for admission went up. I live in town so I still get in for free, but it seems silly to me to charge past 6pm. Its a small beach and the water isnt always the clearest. Not worth it in the slightest if youre driving. It was a good place at one point.

Way too ridiculously expensive to park. Other than that its a great place to go to the beach and relax with friends and family.

Small but always clean and lots to look at on the river or over Long Island Sound.

Very nice
