Bristol Town Beach

I am visiting it in the Fall so I haven’t had to pay to park to go to the beach. I am sure the summer has more restrictions to avoid an overflow. This is a nice beach park. I enjoyed the walk tremendously and the quietness of November.

Beautiful park! Great place for a picnic or a nice walk. Very clean and family friendly. They have volleyball court, play ground, beach, walking paths and more! They also have a public restroom which was surprisingly clean. Plenty of parking too.

Lovely beach - lots of sports spaces and to run or hike. But - here’s the big but. Public land should be accessible for all. Poor or wealthy. $30- for a hard working family to access “public” land is absurd and excessive. People need nature to relax and enjoy time outside without having to pay a crazy amount of money. Capitalism is incompatible with this pursuit. Please lower the price for entry. Also the water in the beach was dirty and gross. At least clean the shore of the seaweed and litter. I would not go into that water. $30- is excessive. Please price entry for all to enjoy. Do better. Also vending machine with water and EV chargers would be nice. Other than that I would give 5 stars.

Clean beach!!! Bathrooms, showers, water fountain! Yes, they have a bubbler 😉 I fill my water bottle here. Porta potties everywhere when bathroom closed. Playground and food service. Covered tent you can rent for an event or just use whenever no one has rented it. Grills for cooking too!

The water and beach itself were NOT appealing. There was a lot of seaweed, rocks, and sooo many shells! Ouch! The playground, picnic area, beach volley ball court, and nearby sports complex are nice though and it was nice to see so many families and groups out enjoying nature.
