Dock wisdom

Long Island Sound is calm and protected -- this is flat-water paddling and easy inshore fishing, not open-ocean boating.

Cedar Island Marina in Clinton is the closest charter and boat base, just east of the park.

The Hammonasset River and salt marsh behind the beach are ideal for beginner kayakers and birding.

The Thimble Islands cruise out of Stony Creek in Branford is the region's classic short boat trip.
