Finally got to the beach over the weekend.  Traveling south then slightly east for about 1 hour and 40 minutes to Rocky Neck State Park, in Lyme, CT.

What a lovely spot, looking out into the Long Island Sound.  The water was clear and the beach a nice sandy white.

I highly recommend this area for either a day on the beach or to go camping.  While we pretty much parked ourselves directly on the beach, hiking and camping were very nearby as well as an estuary and marsh lands.

Now, I just need to finish that book I was reading beach side, before summer is over…..
