This is a fun little spot. The weather is so nice out today…read morethat I wanted to go for a walk with my son in a safe, well populated location and have a beachy vibe to it. We stumbled upon Branford Point after seeing tons of private beach roads nearby and a quick Google search for a public Branford beach. There were at least a dozen fishermen here near the parking area. There is a small strip of a sandy beach with an actual lifeguard. Also, there is a playground/park with picnic tables. Next time we come back, we'll be more prepared to go on the sand and pack a lunch to stay longer!

I have now forgotten the circumstances that brought me to Branford Point this past spring: all that…read moreI remember now is that I had to be out of the house an hour or so before I needed to leave for work. The amount of time seemed just right to explore this city of Branford park, on my way in to New Haven, and I am glad I did. Branford Point park is small but packed with memorable features. From the boat launch, which is surrounded by water on 3 sides, to the beach, backed by a grassy, tree-lined hill, there is much beauty to absorb from this point. Parking was possible, but limited: I imagine in the summer high season that it becomes difficult for anybody that lives outside Branford to visit. Though it may be small and packed, the challenge in this case would be worth the breeze from Long Island Sound, the sights of nearby Thimble Islands, and the peaceful vibes I found at Branford Point.

Clean and quiet and a short walk to the water. Has a play area for the littles and has canoeingread more

I had the most delicious roasted vegetable sandwich with mozzarella. The only downside is that it's extremely noisy. Even when the dining room was less than half full, it was very noisy. I'm sure it is because the room has no soft surfaces such as drapes or table cloths. Gustos in Milford had the same issue until they added soft surfaces including noise absorbing panels on the ceiling.

It was a beautiful day for the beach. We went to the West Haven beach yesterday. I haven't been…read morehere in a few years. They have a large parking lot, where you can pay on the meter. I love the boardwalk here. The boardwalk is long, as long as the beach, with plenty of benches if you should need a rest. They have some of the cutest pups walking along the boardwalk, it's like a dog parade. Then even have folks who walk around with boom boxes. Providing a bit of a situation to dance to anyone who's around. The beach is easily accessible right by the boardwalk. Unfortunately it wasn't the cleanest. There was a substantial amount of seaweed and other debris. The sand wasn't soft, it was full of broken shells and other particles. The cleanliness could depend on peak of season. As I mentioned I enjoyed the boardwalk of this beach. There's kids on rollerblades, and people on bicycles. It's a nice way to catch the sun.

Found two pieces of sea glass but not many seashells to be found at all. I think maybe because of the short protrusions? Maybe it was just the day? I'll be back and will update the review. Lovely beach with sufficient parking. About 5$/hour to park there. Pay by phone/Apple Pay okay! Beach monitor arrived at about 10:30
