"This half-mile, golden-sand beach with gentle tides provides great views of ferries and schooners sailing past the New London Ledge Lighthouse. Ocean Beach Park, located along the boardwalk, features a picnic area, playground, snack bar, mini-golf, arcade, and more. When you've had your fill of one of New England's premier sugar-sand beaches, take a dip in the Olympic-size pool. The on-site parking fee (from $30) covers admission for up to five guests. Otherwise, it's $10 for walk-ups." - Travel + Leisure Editors
