* One of our readers tipped us off on another beach not too far from Ridgefield. Best part? There is no entrance fee! Thank you Mark Heidinger! Check out the last (but not least) beach on our (growing) list: Silver Sands Beach in Milford, CT.
Today's cool and rainy weather might make this week's heat wave seem a distant memory, but here's where to head when the next one hits. These beaches at a lake, a pond, the Housatonic River, and the Long Island Sound are all within a short drive of Easton. Click on beach names for directions and more information.
