About Ocean Beach Park

Ocean Beach Park, nestled at the end of Ocean Avenue in New London, CT, is a gateway to the stunning white sand beaches and the vast Atlantic Ocean. After a day of basking in the sun, immerse yourself in the thrill of classic boardwalk rides and attractions or savor a live concert on the Boardwalk. The park is a treasure trove of unique experiences, promising something for everyone!

Named one of Travel and Leisure’s Best Beaches in the US!

Amusement Rides

Enjoy a trip down memory lane with our lovingly restored, old-school amusement rides. Take a spin on the classic carousel, bumblebee-painted flyers, and tiny cars that give them their first taste of driving. We even have thrills for adults, from the spinning Scrambler and the dizzying Octopus. Take advantage of our special offer every Monday night, where kiddy rides and mini golf are discounted during cruise night!

Snacks, Meals, and Treats

Our Sandbar Café, situated on the upper deck with a scenic view of the beach and boardwalk, serves a full-service menu and adult beverages daily. For a quicker meal, visit the Boardwalk Galley for our famous clam fritters, great burgers, salads, and wraps. Denny’s on the Beach offers char-broiled burgers and dogs so you never have to leave the sand. And don’t forget to visit the Boardwalk Creamery for a delightful afternoon treat!

Miniature Golf

Try your hand at putting through the windmill or test your skills against our mascot, the stalwart whale of Ocean Beach. As a special deal, every Monday night, you can play a round for only $2.00 per person!
