Sandy beach, duck pond, waterfront trails
Oakland Beach is a 34.5-acre stretch of Long Island Sound waterfront in Rye, anchored by a 1910 bathing pavilion with distinctive red-tile towers and flanked by Rye Town Park's landscaped grounds, stone terraces, and walking paths.
Outdoor · Quiet-friendly
The beach sits below a 15-foot terrace with stone staircases and ramps connecting park-level to beach-level dining and facilities.
Duck Pond (formerly Crystal Lake) in the park center offers a quieter spot than the main beach on busy summer weekends.
Overflow parking during peak summer weekends uses lawn areas called Forrest Grove and Chester Grove; arrive early or visit off-peak.
