Some boardwalks are home to amusements, arcades, and shops while others are vantage points for a landscape beyond compare. If you are looking for the scenic type in Connecticut, you’ll want to visit a shoreline state park that is known for its extraordinary views. And to take in those views, you’ll want to stroll the seaside boardwalk.

Silver Sands State Park is a four-season destination along the Milford Coast. The 297-acre jewel is home to a seaside boardwalk that seems to stretch on endlessly.
