This was my dogs first time on the beach and he absolutely loved. It was clean and plenty of parking across the street. He played in the sand and we walked around the area. I would definitely return again. Super dog and family friendly.

Plenty of parking. Decent beach. Nice shady area with picnic tables. Restroom facilities. Great for volleyball. Water was gross, full of brown and green hairy algae that smelled like sewage. Dogs allowed.

It was a lovely day! The beach wasnt crowded at all which was nice ! The water was nice and cool beautiful smelled strongly of sewage so becareful and definitely utilize the insight shower before leaving

Really nice beach definitely going back. Just didnt like that the water look really dirty and it smell so I didnt go in. But Im glad they had an outside shower there so that is nice to keep wetting yourself in a hot day if you choose not to go into the water....

This place was nice to have a little cook out but water was little dirty looking for swimming. But overall nice to take the family and enjoy time away the people that live by are nice. I ran into a nice guy who was nice enough to let me and my kids and my queen play Volleyball with his extra volleyball. I would Recommend anyone to go if you have a family and just want good vibes very enjoyable experience for me on a day trip.

The flies, the algea, the smell, oh my, but my boyfriend and I managed some goofiness playing in the sand. There were people having fun looking for crabs. There was some fun volleyball happening. Older folks seemed to be getting thier chill on, but overall not a beach worthy experience.

A lovely evening on the water iny kayak. Topped off with rain upon return and some of the most gorgeous skies Ive ever seen. Yes!

Very quiet park with picnic tables, grills, beach and volleyball courts. They have plenty of extra parking across the street too....all free.

Beautiful place to go sit down look at the water have a little picnic but the restrooms arent open right now. There is a beach but the water stinks so I dont think you really want to go in and swim because the mud stinks! On the other side looks like a good crabbing spot and shellfish when its open but right now its not open and probably has something to do with that stinky mud water. This beach area is free right now to go to and theres a large parking lot.

Nice quiet, relatively small beach for relaxing, sitting, reading, etc. Grassy picnic area with shade trees. People do go wading here, but it does not appear to be a good place for swimming. Generally uncrowded during the week. Please feel free to go somewhere else..lol!

Great little spot to go for a few hours with Family & Friends for a fresh outlook & sea air...Also great for solitude, if you need to get away for a bit to collect energy & begin a new journey!

Nice small town beach. On harbor. Limited parking.

This is a great beach with sand and lawn options. The only downside was the water felt a little sludge like and had a smell. It is a dog friendly beach too!

Easy access to beach. Quiet location however water is not great to swim in..usually full of weeds and hard to find a spot where the bottom is not mushy.

Cute little man-made beach. Clean and not too busy, even on the hottest days. Free parking. I can’t wait to go back!

A bit small, not really private or anywhere to distance yourself from people. But if you are looking for a spot to wind down in the evening and eat takeout food with a view, I recommend.

Clean & very friendly people here. Will definitely recommend!

The beach was clean but the water smells like sewage. Couldnt go in. Bathrooms and outdoor shower to cool off. Not many people so easy to social distance.

Nice park. Beach area (not in photo) is small but appropriate size. Picnic area. Volleyball. View is nice. Went at a quiet time.

Water to dirty to swim in but they have a nice picnic area to barbecuing I am a nice view

Been going since I was a kid. Love the snack shack. Volleyball. Summer concerts

A lovely spot for a quick walk with your pup or a family picnic with bbq spots. Peaceful sea views.

It was so smelly - overly smelly for low tide. The water was murky and the sand was slimy. It felt like you were swimming in a pond. On the plus side, its a nice beach to bring beginning swimmers as the water is calm and not very deep.

Seems to be one of the few beaches in the area open to outsiders. Can see why it’s free - the water is murky, muddy and smelly. If you don’t want to swim I guess it’s fine. The rest of beach is sandy and some shady spots nearby as well as next to car parks. Has washing facilities.

Small beach but, absolutely beautiful

Its a cute little spot thats DOG FRIENDLY! Small manicured wooded park area with picnic tables, marble benches and a couple grills. Has a small rocky beach area. A few sand volleyball courts. Public restrooms, but I think theyre closed for the winter. I wish people would pick up their trash and dog poop.

Beautiful from afar, but as others have said, the water was disappointing as it was really sludgy and smelly, with rotting seaweed all along the water.

Its nice when other beaches are closed, lol, well allot of rocks at beach and then slimy mud, still had a good time with the kids

Very clean & quite & calm beach, had a very nice experience

Sand was a bit hard and packed this day I went but thats because the town had just raked it. Free beach to go to. Sand isnt fine sand, there are some larger rocks to be wary of. Water has a lot of large rocks as well so wear water socks/shoes. Plenty of parking across the way if the little parking lot is full.

Smelly beach. Maybe it was the day we went, but we had to leave after five minutes because the smell was unbearable.

Pretty quiet. Pretty small. Pretty dirty water and muck.

Wonderful local beach. I wouldn’t recommend it to non-locals, as it’s small and generally has a lot of seaweed, but as a 10 minute drive, it’s amazing.

Its a nice place to go if nowhere else is available

Its a nice place for a picnic but not to swim

Normally this is a nice Beach to visit but today for some reason it smell like raw sewage

Beautiful and quaint. Only disadvantage is limited public access; almost everything is private.

Beautiful little spot...

Rocky waters with big slippery Rocky ground. Barnacles cut the feet quickly with several of us with slices to our feet.The beach itself was nice with restrooms and picnic tables.Nice place to hang out, just NOT to wade in the water

Awesome free beach. Great place to go alone to get away from your day to day life......

Beautiful spot to relax.

Its OK. Sand is on the rocky side. Has bathrooms and outdoor shower. Plenty of free parking. There are quite a few volleyball nets.

Nice beach overall, needs a little TLC

Small beach with volleyball section, grills, public restrooms. Bunch of poison ivy in bushes so be careful

Great location. Water quality alittle iffy.

I saw a horseshoe crab, found lots of cool shells, but areas of this beach were pretty stinky. It wasnt busy at all so I enjoyed that. Im from Washington State so it was nice to check out an east coast beach.

Nice park area for picnics, small beach with volleyball courts.

Quiet beach cove

Nice little park/beach. Quiet, nice sand, lavatories, ample parking across the street. Could use a good truck since the food stand is only open during the week. Otherwise nice little best kept secret in Noank.

I was actually across the street from the beach. Theres a nice little park over thats perfect for walking your dog. It has a little circular path that goes around.and a really nice view of the water.

Just got married here. Peaceful. Pleasant. Quiet. Great community. We will miss you CT. Off to Louisiana.

Nice, quiet place to sit in the shade of a tree and read or have a sandwich.

Its s great place for the locals to he able to not only live by the water but actually have a beach for volleyball playing panic free summer. Concerts and swimming. IF ONLY THE DAND WOULD BE NICER AND NOT SO YUCKY GETTING INTO THE WATER. if be willing to contribute.

A very boutique (little) beach with very limited parking and the water does Not look at all clean. I myself would not swim here. A nice place to go during the week to sun on the beach and relax.

Beautiful views, clean

Free parking, nice volleyball court, toilet, shower, summer concert on Thursdays, but the water smells like sewer and the sand under the water feels like sludge, I wonder if this water was ever tested. The town of Groton can do a better job in this beach

Its a calm beach with a picnic area. There is a church 8 miles from there, which is also great! My husband and I left church at noon and ate lunch looking at the ocean, the boats and feeling the Spring breeze. That was a great time!

My favorite beach in CT .grew up coming to this beach and its stayed in my heart no other place compares..its safe clean family friendly...just wish the clam shack was still there but even I know things change as long as the beach is the same Ill always keep coming back

Good safe spot to picnic while visiting Mystic. Its just minutes away from downtown and route 95. Swimming is allowed seasonally, but a lifeguard may not be on duty.

Free beach. Free parking. No lifeguards. 2 volleyball courts. Bathrooms available. Sometimes concession stand or food trucks available. Sand not smooth, a little rocky. Beach clean but water not cleaned of seaweed. Not a bad beach for free.

Perfect food and perfect service

My favorite spot

The beach is clean. Restroom facilities are cleaned regularly. Great place to put your kayak in!

Its an okay beach that has free parking

Too much silt for a nice swim. Awesome pinic areas though.

Friendly little beach but the key word is little. Very limited parking and I personally would think twice before going in for a swim. The water doesnt look very clean.

Awesome place to walk, enjoy the scenery, BBQ, walk the dog. There are public bathrooms and a small deck to enjoy. Great Place!

Love its a good place to meet up with friends and family. Relaxing weekend and we are going to be there again.

Very dirty water and beach. The bathrooms were at least clean. Better off at a state park.

Awesome

A quiet, clean, and beautiful little spot.

Attended the Thursday night summer concert. A few hundred people chilling on the beach and in boats, listening to an engaging live band, lounging in low beach chairs with picnic coolers or taking advantage of the local pizza and hot dogs and sausages for sale. Perfect summer evening.

Was great place. Lots of families and friendly dogs! Cook out area too

Excellent place to bring your dog . The water is a little murky but it’s so nice to see the ocean .Lovely place

Clean and calm waters, some glass in the water but what can you do?

Sand is not as nice as nearby beaches in Rhode Island. No waves. Good swimming area for kids. Decent rest rooms. Many beach volleyball courts. Nice shaded grass area with picnic tables. Italian ice for sale.

Small Town beach Groton CT. Some rocks, Sea weed. Has bathrooms and snack bar in season. Also has a picnic area.

Nice quiet place to chill by the water. Nice little picnic area.

Beautiful

I think its a very nice beach to go to it is clean but stinks but I really like it after all

Beautiful beach great concerts too

Great beach. Snack bar closes early ;(

Its quiet and pretty. Unfortunately the Geese go everywhere. I had to tip-toe away from the car and be careful a few feet onto the beach. The place is otherwise clean. I got some beautiful shells and the perfect rocks for painting.

So many shells!! Dog friendly! Volleyball nets and tables!!! Public bathrooms are very nice inside!

Beach is used for organized leagues during the summer. Popular place for vball players

Great beach not overly crowded. Pinic area is shaded..Got there around noon parking was free, but as we were leaving 4:00 a band was setting up an they were charging to park. Need water shoes it was a little Rocky..

Go there several times a week for a volleyball camp for my daughter, what a great place! Then why the 1-star!?!?!? Obviously to help keep it more of a secret and not have more people show up! It really is a nice area, and I hope it stays that way.

Smells dirty water

It wasnt worth the drive. If I could walk to this beach then I would think differently about it. Its a little dirty, lots of seaweed, lots of pebbles and the swimming wasnt great.

A hidden gem! Attention all moms! Bring your kids here. They will love it, and so will you. Bathrooms, easy access from the parking lot, calm water, lots of crabs to catch. Great day!!!

Plenty of parking, clean beach!

Been there before, just moved .7 miles away. Will be back frequently during my summers.

We enjoyed it! There were stingrays in the shallows...recommend shoes because of the sharp shells, and sharp eyes to spot the sting Rays:)

Quiet beach clean restrooms was a safe spot to let the kids play in the sand. Free parking was great the water however hasnt been cleaned of seaweed and is very rocky making it hard to get in. Would be almost perfect if I remember to bring water shoes and the gross low tide smell isnt to rough.

The beach is great. Except for the gross water filled with seaweed and algae. But the Summer concerts were amazing.

This is my pups favorite spot. Clean, and peaceful. We would definitely be back whenever we are in Groton! :)

Nice place to get away from things

Its good nice n quiet

Free, decent size beach. Fairly calm ocean water. Not groomed, lots and lots of washed up seaweed, but still very enjoyable especially for the price

Cute beach. Dogs allowed. Sand isnt great. Not soft White and squishy but nice place to chill
