Silver Sands Beach

Silver Sands beach is a relaxed environment with limited amenities. It is a bare

amenities beach for those who want to bask in the sun and swim, perfect for a quiet day on the beach. It has a beautiful boardwalk that is great to walk on all year round. Also, accessible from the beach is Charles Island by the land bridge when the tide is low. Many people enjoy the walk to Charles island and are able to see ocean life. The park is kept very clean and is very scenic.

It is located at 1 Silver Sands Pkwy, Milford, CT 06460. It is very close to the highway and offers easy access. It is also close to a variety of shopping centers and restaurants in Milford. It is also located close to New Haven if you are planning to visit there as well.

If you are looking for local accommodations I suggest checking out the SpringWood Suites in Milford. It is located in the perfect spot to check out other local areas if you are planning to not stay at the beach all day. But if you don't mind being a town away in Orange is the breakfast at the Homewood Suites by Hilton. This location includes a pool and free breakfast and is located right off the highway.

The best local restaurant is the Greek Spot Cafe which is commonly cited by visitors as a great place to go after the beach because of its location. They are open until 8 most nights and are a great place to grab a quick-to-go snack or sit in a relaxed environment. It is also very affordable. If you want somewhere a little more formal try Reggianos Restaurant for great Italian food. The service is fantastic and the food never disappoints.

"We snagged a picnic table under the shade for lunch, then started walking out towards the island. The tides change every day so be sure to check if you want to go so the way out. Got to see some horseshoe crabs as well!"

"Beautiful views at sunset... no matter which month... living nearby such incredible locations allows one to take them fo granted... such a great place for a walk, and of course, best location for sunset pictures"

"On a whim, my family stopped by here today and we were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this park was. Long, clean boardwalk, not crowded, free parking, and gorgeous views! Unfortunately we couldn’t do the sandbar walk to the island this time of year (May to August) due to nesting season but that seems really cool
