Having been to many beaches among which include those in the Caribbean, Mexico, Gulf of Mexico and both Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, I consider Seaside Park in Bridgeport Connecticut one of the best beaches. The beach is has gentle waves making it easy for swimming and safe for children.There are numerous ball fields and picnic areas. There 2 small playgound areas for the kids. There is roughly i mile of continous sandy beach and almost 3 miles of seawall along which to walk or jog.
