My husband and I needed to get out and do something different. We wanted to pretend we were away at the beach for the weekend. This beach, Hammonassett Beach in Madison, CT has come a long way in providing that get away feeling. Lots of camping sites and walking trails. This part of the west beach was not too crowded and allowed us time to sit and soak up the sun and explore and pretend. It was a gorgeous day and not only did we enjoy the feeling of being away we found a great seafood restaurant to enjoy a great meal.
