Here's some beach photography of Silver Sands State Park located in Milford, CT. It is a nice place to visit and spread your blanket for some sun and it's very scenic. Silver Sands State Park beach is great for walking and beachcombing. It's loaded with shells. We love to view all the summer cottages too. Charles IslandThe first picture is Charles Island at high tide, and it can't be reached. The second picture is of the boardwalk that you take to get to the beach. You can walk to Charles Island at low tide, but don't stay on it too long or you'll be swimming back. Charles Island is a bird sanctuary and is fenced off, No Trespassing, it says. It has a long history of use, and they even say it's haunted because nothing has ever prospered there. Read the History below Walking to Charles IslandWe walked over to the island one time and there is a small path that encircles the island. We followed it all the way around. Also we noticed it is fenced all the way around too, so you can't go inside the fencing. The bottom picture is Charles Island at low tide. See the road that is revealed when the ocean water goes out? When we moved to Connecticut, we don't remember this being a state park, but apparently it became a State Park in 1955. Now, they have added observation telescopes, and a boardwalk. The Milford Town Beach is another beach not too far away. Everyone pretty much goes there to swim because the sand is nicer. Pets on a leash are permitted in the park except not on the beach.
