Fun things to do at beaches & waterfront in Stamford
- Beach Olympics — 3-legged race, longest seaglass find, best sandcastle, who finds the prettiest shell — make up the events as you go.
- Wave Counting — Pick a spot and count waves for 2 minutes. First to 30 wins. More competitive than it sounds.
- Message in the Sand — Each person writes or draws something in wet sand before the tide takes it. Take a photo before it goes.
Budget tips for Stamford
- Most public beaches are free — the parking fee is the real cost. Arrive before 9am to beat both the crowds and the lot attendant at many state beaches.
- Pack everything: sunscreen, snacks, water, towels. Beach vendor prices are 2–3x normal. A soda on the sand shouldn't cost $6.
