No, you do not need a pass. The pass is only for parking at the beach, the town does not screen people going into the beach. While you won't be able to be driven into the center of the beach, there is a drop off zone right outside the beach. If you wish to park nearby, Westport train station is around 2 or 3 miles away, and if you use the pedestrian crossing on the train bridge over the river (south side of station to Ferry Lane) biking to the beach is on flat and manageable terrain either on back-roads or sidewalks. There are also bike racks at the beach. Parking at the train station (make sure you're in the correct lot, day parking and not permit parking) is $5/weekdays and free on weekends, though this could change in the future.

Yes. You will need to bring a copy of your lease. Contact the parks and rec department for everything they require.

Hi, I went to Compo Beach today to check, and you can rent umbrellas and chairs. Have fun!!

Pets not allowed April 1- October1. Other ties of the year, beasts have full run. Hope this helps.

Yes it is but it's much more populated when the weather is warmer. There are BBQs on the southern part of the beach which can be used as well.

If you are not a CT resident it is $35 per car on weekdays and $50 per car on weekends and holidays. Some people are not willing to pay those prices and they will go to the nearby Sherwood Island Beach, where it cost less to enter.

Yes! If u go all the way to the end when come through the gate you will see grills to the right of the two canons on the beach,

No waves in the Sound--sometimes there's a little whoosh but if you're used to the ocean you'll be looking for roar but will only hear a chirp :)

You wanna play , you gots to pay (to park).

There is a great concession there and you can also bring in your own food/drink and charcoal for the grills.
