Eastern Point Beach is a small, sandy beach located at the mouth of the Thames River in Groton, Connecticut. It is a great place to bring your family as there is a supervised swimming area, shallow water, and a playground. After a relaxing swim, enjoy a picnic with lunch brought from home or purchased from the beach concession stand. Parking fees are in effect; visitors must have a seasonal sticker or pay the daily parking fee.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests at least 95% of the time
