McCook Point Park,

Niantic, CT 06357, United States

"This is my favorite park in Niantic. There's a paid parking lot for parking. There are picnic tables and benches. There's pathways to walk around the park. Of course you can't forget the gorgeous beach! Wonderful views from the sand and the hill! It's such a nice spot, it's a must visit every time I'm in town."

"Beautiful vistas off the cliff, and it's got a (clean!) bathroom. However, parking is a little tricky to figure out - you'll need to drive down to the beach area first."

"Great beach. Well kept. Even has a playground. Can get to it by Toby D's or from the boardwalk. My daughter likes to swim out to the dock, which has a ladder to jump off. Although it doesn't have a life guard or one, I have seen when we went. Great music entertainment in the summer. Have camps at times. My daughter and I prefer this beach to all the other ones. Can Walk around has a walkway, and you can access the boardwalk for a longer walk or run. It has areas to sit within the park area. It can be tranquil looking out at the water. Something about water being soothing. All around great place."

"Beautiful beach, very quiet and clean. The parking lot is $50.00 but it is worth it, the beach is well maintained, it is not so crowded and the views are very relaxing. I drove 2.5 hours to get to the beach and it was well worth it. As a bonus, the water was not too cold. I have attached pictures as a reference. It is a beautiful place."

"Nice local beach with some green space for children to play or take a rest from the sand and sun. There are benches around and along the water edge. There is a decent stage for music or play in the park in the summer. Local talents would come here and practice their craft. We enjoyed a pocket concert or two on this stage over the years... Good place for a short walk, or a quick dip in the ocean. Shady spot for a picnic as well. This is as good as it gets for a local beach in New England..."
