Seaside Park offers 3 miles of Long Island Sound shoreline, sandy beaches, grassy dunes, sports fields and an island wildlife preserve — great for coastal panoramas, shorebird and sunrise/sunset shots. Best at golden hour and dawn for low crowds and soft light. Note seasonal parking/pass rules (resident passes common; out-of-state day fees can apply), ample lots, easy wheelchair-accessible paths in parts. Historic P.T. Barnum landscaping adds classical vistas and picnic-ready foregrounds.
