Sandy beach, playground, skate park
Compo Beach in Westport offers a sandy shoreline along Long Island Sound with a playground, skate park, volleyball courts, and picnic areas; note that parking is restricted to Westport residents from May through October, but the beach is open to all visitors during off-season months.
Free · Outdoor
The large playground and skate park are popular with kids; visit in off-season (November-April) if you're a non-resident to avoid parking restrictions.
Bathrooms are available year-round; a heated building with working restrooms is open during winter.
Concessions sell food and ice cream, or bring your own and use the picnic tables and grills on-site.
Parking is free or lower-cost for non-residents during off-season; summer (May-October) requires a Westport resident sticker or expect restricted access.
