Sherwood Island State Park places beaches, grassy picnic areas and coastal habitat on Long Island Sound in Westport.
Its broad shoreline makes it suitable for a beach walk or a longer outdoor break, while the park’s 9/11 memorial offers a quieter place for reflection.
Check state-park notices, vehicle-entry arrangements and seasonal facilities before travelling. Swimming conditions and services vary, and the rules for pets change through the year. The photograph shows the eastern beach area; shelters and other amenities can have seasonal closures even when the outdoor park remains available.
