Honestly, there is no better place to watch the sunrise. Locals call it Tod's Point (it used to be the private estate of J. Kennedy Tod back in the day before the town bought it in the 40s), and it's easily one of the best spots in Fairfield County. On a clear morning, you get these stunning views across the Long Island Sound, the Stamford Harbor Ledge Lighthouse, and you can even see the Manhattan skyline peeking out in the distance. The park itself is huge (around 147 acres) with a great 2.5-mile loop that's perfect for morning walks, though you'll always see plenty of runners and cyclists out too. It's got a bit of everything: sandy beaches, beautiful flower gardens, and wooded areas. If you're into photography or bird watching, bring your camera. The wildlife here is incredible because of the tidal marshes and Eagle Pond. We've spotted everything from herons and egrets to ospreys and hawks. A few practical tips if you're planning a visit: * The Setup: Right after you pass the entry booth, you'll see the historic Innis Arden Cottage. There's plenty of parking spread out--across from the cottage, by the sailing school, and an overflow lot at the very tip of the peninsula. * Passes & Timing (Summer vs. Winter): From May 1st to October 31st, you need a pass. It's free for Greenwich residents if your plates are linked to your OnePass, but if you're a non-resident, you have to buy a single-entry pass online beforehand. They do not sell tickets at the gate. Also, no dogs are allowed during the summer season. * The Off-Season: From November 1st to April 30th, entry is free and dogs are allowed. Officially they're supposed to be leashed, but just a heads up that most people let their fur babies run free on the beach during these months. * Pro-Tip: If you walk or ride your bike in, entry is free year-round! Whether you're looking for a peaceful morning walk, a place to kayak/sail, or just want to sit on the beach and read, Tod's Point is an absolute gem. We feel incredibly lucky to have this in our backyard.

Disgusting waters, literally looks the same as Orchard Beach. Then it charges you to park $10 for them to close not even two hours later. Then is t this supposed to be public? Why are they charging to come to this half a** beach? You can't even swim fat or anything of the sort. The prices are ridiculous and you are charged for the pool and beach which again I really think just paying for the life guards to sit there and do nothing because with how deep you can actually go who in the entire would would drown?

Hiked up and across, ate the lunch we'd brought at one of the umbrella'ed tables near the playground, and then the skies opened up; drove back to Manhattan on an almost flooded Bronx River Parkway. Grandson back for a visit this year, wanted to go back! Zipcar got more expensive, so I followed the directions on their website using public transportation. DON'T! The website says take Metronorth to White Plains and then a Bee-line bus, #6, to the Dam Plaza. We found the bus stop, and the schedule said 11:43. Perfect, right? Not. 12:43 came and went. Other buses came and went. The #6 never showed up, so finally we took a taxi for $20.00. Took 10 minutes to get there. Better to take a train to Valhalla and walk the less than a mile or Uber for 8.95 or something like that. Watch the schedule for going back to Grand Central, because in the afternoon it seems to run just once an hour. Plan accordingly. Otherwise we had a good time.
