About Milford's Walnut Beach

Milford, CT- especially the Walnut Beach Shore Village is an area that is quickly evolving into a Mecca for avante -garde, artists and one-of -a-kind shops as well as a newly constructed residential complex set against the beautiful shoreline. I have come upon a few of these treasures recently and thought I would share them with you.

Will Rodrigues, is the latest in a long list of entrepreneurs to choose Walnut Beach as the perfect place to set up shop. Will, the proprietor of Walnut Beach Café who is an artist himself, showcases areas artists and photographers in his cozy café. He also offers live acoustic music and plans to expand his menu which already includes a wide variety of coffees, as well as local offering such as Mangels Chocolates as a variety of foods all from local vendors.

Walnut Beach Creamery is another new shop that has opened up in this area and the owner Susan Patrick offers a wide variety of home-made, one-of-a- kind ice creams that include exotic fruits, liqueurs, and specialty nuts. She also hosts the Walnut Beach Halloween Witch Parade which I blogged about in October where a specially selected ‘witch' leads the children in a parade around the streets.

The Lazy Lobster offers seafood and (of course) lobsters. You can even order your lobster and enjoy your pampered picnic on beautiful Walnut Beach.

Every year Milford hosts it's annual Sand Castle Contest at Walnut Beach in Milford, CT. Walnut Beach is located in a section of Milford called, Devon.

Participants and spectators gather around just after high tide to enjoy this spectacular event. Anyone can participate. You must pre-register to be entered as an individual or as a team by age group. Simple rules to this contest. The main goal is to just have fun. Only beach materials may be used to create your masterpiece in the sand. Once the contest is over spectators and participants slowly watch the high tide reclaim the beach and their sculptures. Sand Castle Contest dates and times vary from year to year.
