One of the worst beaches Ive ever been to. There is no sand, its filled with pebbles instead. Not a resident? Guess what? Parking is $65 for the day. Want to swim? Then I hope you like having a face full of seaweed when you come up for air. This beach needs to be cleaned up, but Im not holding my breath.

This place is really AWESOME! AMAZING! I wish I can go every weekend My favorite part is the area for the kids. Nice!!!!

Beach is much better now that the out of towners have been limited to parking at Taylor Farm only.Also the beach looks great after it gets raked. Beaches in other states do it every morning.

Beautiful beach here, good for family or if you want to come alone. Be sure to bring flip flops there are alot of rocks along the shore making it difficult to travel if barefoot, other than that bring some towels and beach chair, cooler full of water and snacks and you are in business!No glass allowed on this Beach area, make sure you only have drinks in plastic bottles or any containers make sure they are not glass

Fun place too many rocks tho

Beautiful Beach. Quiet, clean and safe

This is a standard Connecticut beach. No surf, kind of rocky sand, but a wonderful vista of the Sound. If your car is registered in Norwalk, you can park without any other permit than your license plate. Family friendly, but no dogs, ever. Off leash Dog park is across the road.

Great place to spend a day by the beach .parking available.

Its okay. Definitely not worth paying for. Its not that great that you need to pay to come here. If you have a resident pass its free. Its dirty and lot of littering!

A beautiful park-5 stars. Not of lot od SD practiced

My kids loved the beach

Be really careful of their tricky parking policy if you are not Norwalk resident. It looked to me that it was set up like that way for the parking company to collect money. We asked twice in the previous two parking lots that the third parking lot is for nonresident. However there is left and right portions, you can only parked at certain places and so tricky. We found our car got towed only 15 min later. The parking garage asked for $150 cash Only and no receipt. And parking ticket is another $ 150. It is almost like a robbery.

So much fresh air aand its always nice and cool

This beach is somewhat a hidden gem. If you are not a resident of Norwalk County, you have to pay $40 before 5pm, Mon.-Fri. Its somewhat pricey but you can be at the beach all day and its not too crowded. If you arrive after 5pm, its $20 until the beach closes.

Beautiful view and breezes...great for a workout with friends. Parking tuff and $$$.

Beautiful place to relax and have a good time

Amazing beach y just love it .. only 1 hour driving from the Bronx

The beach and the water are nice and clean but the price for a non resident is $40 which is pretty steep and you need to download an app to pay for parking which was pretty annoying trying to find and fill out.

Picnic tables for rent and you can cook out. Norwalk residents only

Great views

Had good time.

Great park to spend a day with family and friends. Very clean. A little dissapoint you have to pay for the tables. I never seen that in other States but this is CT. Would like to see better quality of food vendors there though

Absolutely beautiful!

Easy parking, very clean

Favorite place after Veterans Park ;)

Its a nice Beach but very crowded on the weekends. Its also Very Rocky. Right side of the beach known as calf pasture is the better sanded area. Also if youre not a resident of Norwalk then the parking fees have become ridiculous. So make sure you have your pass! If youre bringing a group of people then the picnic tables need to be rented. I appreciate the other amenities better like the free summer concerts, and various activities they have. The Taylor farm dog park is also amazing.

Clean, excellent views, lots of picnic benches and grilles to use, easy parking. A great safe spot for little ones to learn how to ride, skate or scoot. Only four stars because it is on the small side.

I love this Beach its quite and clean

Beautiful park and beach!

It is very nice beach for kids and adults,m. Play areas are available for kids. Adults can do barbecue and fishing. Parking and toilets are available. Shops are also available next to the beach.

Such a clean nice place

Peace and relax early in the morning

Great place to spend the day!!! Kids loved the splash pad and we grilled water was beautiful. Bring water shoes because it is rocky in spots! 30$ for parking if not a resident but worth it!!

Great place to go

Such a shady beach!

Great local beach

Great swim.

Nice beach with a splash pad... good place to relax and take your kids

Niceeee

Beautiful area. Peaceful and not too busy.

Beautiful little spot. Tables and grills. Also can run dogs across the street.

The park is good - swings and slides are good - the water play area is superb in summer. They have added area for BMX bikes and skates. The beach itself is not very good with a lot of weed.

Amazing place near New York for enjoy the summer

Nice place to go with kids and family also nice place to fishing amazing

My getta way stay cay. Love it

Great beach and great place to walk around or bbq.

It was a dope spot to chill at

The place to be. Very clean and enjoyable place for the family!

Shady Beach and calf pasture Beach are very well-known tourist attractions and very popular with in the city of Norwalk the pizzas are in very top-notch condition and very very clean and a very enjoyable Memorial place to swim as well as free concerts every week

Lovely beach with park on Long Island Sound

Shady beach was awesome. And the water was refreshing.

I loved how clean it was and the water besides salty it was great

Great place to walk and meet people.

Residents only of Norwalk can park here... & The Picknick tables are rented for $25.oo They have a Beach for Swimming, On guard Life Guard, & a Splash Pad for kids under 3 yrs old. Their is a Playground right next door to the Splash Pad with Slides & Swings. Bring A Tent Id Say, Or Cook In The Sun!!

Nice beach

Beach, food, picnic tables, miniature golf, kayak, paddle boarding, windsurfing, fishing, music, yoga or just tan on the sand more in one place.

Nice place to visit, walk around....

It was nice to enjoy shade and sun at the beach!

Always a nice getaway for fun in the sun!

Very good park. Very nice and beautiful place to be with kids. Here is large playground and a lot of fun for kids. I love to walk in this park with my husband and baby.

The beach is clean, parking fee for non residents is $40 but you need to download the parking app! There is a kid play area, snack shop and clean restrooms but the flies!!!!! The flies are vicious they swam and bite, everyone is walking around smacking themselves bring fly spray not mosquito

Beatifull i will come again.

Norwalk Ct residents are free. Non residents have to pay. Stamford Ct, Bridgeport Ct any other towns have to pay.

Good food right on the beach

All the parking was either reserved for residents or the gates were closed.

Relax and enjoy. Need some sun after cold winter.

Its nice I like it

The beach is well kept and the water is clean enough. I like the surrounding park too. I dont like that if your car plate is NOT CT they charge you 30$. There is a small fast food place that a limited selection of food and ice cream. The actual beach can get crowded during peak season.

My wife didnt really care for it because the spot we chose to lay at was dirty and had a couple of dead birds and it was way to many rocks in the sand

Treed park by beach.

Cute little park that is free for Norwalk residents. Has a beach too but its gross water and rocky beaches

Its is my favorite place to hang out in the summer. Almost every evening I am there..even in the winter when its not snowing I will go there and take walk.

Great place to take your family

Beautiful place to relax!

Amazing for a surprise event.

Managed to drive all the way up top during a mad-rush for a Dodgers game and still alive to share the tale.Hooray for photoshoots.Hooray Doyers!

Nice people great food

Best beach near new york city by far . Great food . Great for kids

Dirty as hell. Bathrooms dont even get me started! Small parking lot over run with people. Absolutely ridiculous that you have to pay an outrageous fee to get in AND you have to pay to use a picnic table a gross one at that. The grills are disgusting looks like they havent been cleaned in about 20 years. For the money you have to pay for everything they could at least take the time cleaning the place up. Never going there again!!

Great boat show

Pretty place!

Nice little beach. Has a nice playground & splash pad for the kids. The pier is nice for fishing.

Great place to relax

Was pleasantly surprised with the availability of bathrooms and multiple eateries.

Wel maintained place

Good for both adults and kids

I love coming here especially during the fall!

Great time with the grandkids

Amazing like always.

It is beautiful!

The this beach it is nice and clean

Great Beach.. And as the name says... Lots of shady trees when you want to get out of the sun!

Good family place

Good place to visit with the family alcohol allow (no glass allow)really liked you will feel free

With a million dollar view of Norwalks islands and it being a cool shady place near the sound to bring the family... this park has always been a gem. Cooking at the beach and the smells they bring; there is no place better to spend a hot summer afternoon.

Its a BEAUTIFUL place, to relax and enjoy it in the daytime or night time with family or by yourself.

Convenient location and nice amenities but still the polluted Long Island Sound

Beautiful grounds

The other side of Calf Pasture beach in Norwalk. Great place for families and BBQs

Great for a family day!!!
