Fun Things to Do Here
Ideas to make the most of your visit to Sasco Hill Beach
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.
Shell Sorting
Collect 10 shells. Sort by color, then size, then texture. Decide together which one gets to come home.
Tide Pool Bingo
Spot a crab, something with spots, something that moves, a tiny fish, and one thing you can't identify.

Grandparent Money Tips
- •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.
- •Connecticut and New York both have state beaches open to all visitors — often cheaper than town beaches that require a resident sticker.
