Driving down Coe Avenue leads you directly to the town beach on Cosey Beach Avenue where East Haven residents willl find plenty of parking in the lot that is across the street from the beach. 

Enjoy a refreshing swim in the waters of Long Island Sound or picnic under the pavilion.  The kids will love the playgournd next to the picnic area or the new splash pad that is across from the main entrance to the beach.

There's a volleyball court, bocci court and a pavilion.  After a day in the sun frolicking on the beach there are showers available too.

At the corner of of Coe Avenue and Cosey Beach Avenue is the Sandpiper Restaurant where you can visit their take out counter for some of the best seafood in the area, some ice cream or a nice cold drink. There is seating available outside. 

The Sandpiper has a full dining room with an outside patio area if you'd like to enjoy a sit down lunch or dinner.

Hi Donna,

Great job showcasing Momauguin, I just love little beach communnities like this. So many of ours in SoCal have grown so much I miss places that look like this. Love the playground on the sand in your video. I'd bet the kids love this.

Hi Lynda! - While Momauguin is the only beach community in East Haven, there are others in neighborhing towns.  I love them too.  What's so nice is that you have the beauty of the beach within walking distance of almost anywhere you live in the area and a close-knit community connection.

Wanda - I consider myself very fortunate to live in an area where communities like Momauguin are so close by.  I can either walk or jump in my car and be at a beach in less than 5 minutes.  It's heaven!!

Donna, this is a great presentation of Momauguin. It has the essence of a small beach community and those are the most charming. Florida is quickly losing them, although in recent years towns have awakened and protested and put a stop to some of the development by limiting height of buildings.

Sharon - It not only has the feel of a small beach community but a great affordability level especially for first time homebuyers.
