Prospect Beach Custom Search   Spent many summers at the beach thanks to Uncle Packy and Aunt Harriet who lived just above the fire house. 2flynns@charter.net Says Bill Flynn Grab your beach umbrella and go to the beach, Prospect Beach in New Haven County, Connecticut is a magnificent place for getting out. For all you camping people there are campgrounds close at hand. The way the water joins a gorgeous shore is such a delightful panorama. Some of the pastimes here are whitewater paddling,     hiking, boating, swimming, golfing, and fishing, so becoming bored is not something that is probable to take place.              Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Prospect Beach.   Other Beaches Near Prospect Beach: Sea Bluff Beach, New Haven County , 0 miles away Rocky Beach, New Haven County , 1 miles away Oyster River Beach, New Haven County , 2 miles away Burwells Beach, New Haven County , 3 miles away Farview Beach, New Haven County , 3 miles away   Marinas Near Prospect Beach: West Cove Cooperative Marina, West Haven , 2 miles away Harbor Point Marina, New Haven , 4 miles away Short Beach River Marina, New Haven , 5 miles away Waucoma Yacht Club, New Haven , 6 miles away Spencer's Marina, Milford , 6 miles away   Hotels Near Prospect Beach: Best Western Executive Hotel of New Haven-West Haven, West Haven , 1 miles away Econo Lodge West Haven, West Haven , 1 miles away Hampton Inn Suites New Haven South West Haven, West Haven , 1 miles away Super 8 West Haven, West Haven , 2 miles away Courtyard New Haven Orange/Milford, Orange , 3 miles away Premiere Hotel and Suites, New Haven , 3 miles away Hyatt Place Milford, Milford , 3 miles away New Haven Hotel, New Haven , 4 miles away The Study at Yale, New Haven , 4 miles away Omni New Haven Hotel, New Haven , 4 miles away   Camp Grounds Near Prospect Beach: National Computer Camps, Orange, 5 miles away Wildwood State Park, Wading River, 18 miles away   Trails Near Prospect Beach: Regicides Trail, New Haven County , 7 miles away Quinnipiac Trail, New Haven County , 9 miles away Naugatuck Trail, New Haven County , 12 miles away West Woods Trail, New Haven County , 16 miles away Mattatuck Trail, New Haven County , 19 miles away   Ski Areas Near Prospect Beach: Mount Southington, Connecticut , 18 miles away, 425 foot drop, 8 lifts, 14 runs Powder Ridge, Connecticut , 20 miles away, 500 foot drop, 5 lifts, 19 runs Woodbury, Connecticut , 27 miles away, 300 foot drop, 4 lifts, 18 runs Ski Sundown, Connecticut , 33 miles away, 625 foot drop, 5 lifts, 15 runs Mohawk Mountain, Connecticut , 39 miles away, 640 foot drop, 6 lifts, 24 runs Thunder Ridge, New York , 45 miles away, 500 foot drop, 4 lifts, 30 runs Blandford, Massachusetts , 49 miles away, 465 foot drop, 5 lifts, 26 runs Otis Ridge, Massachusetts , 50 miles away, 400 foot drop, 5 lifts, 11 runs Ski Butternut, Massachusetts , 54 miles away, 1000 foot drop, 10 lifts, 22 runs Catamount, Massachusetts , 60 miles away, 1000 foot drop, 7 lifts, 29 runs   Whitewater Near Prospect Beach: Hammonasset River, Middlesex/ New Haven County , 25 miles away, Class I-II - 2 miles long (Summer Hill Road to Green Hill Road) Farmington River - Collinsville, Hartford County , 28 miles away, Class II - 3.5 miles long (Collinsville to Unionville) Whitewater Outfitter - Non-Core Tabala Vacations, Hartford County , 30 miles away, Whitewater outfitter   Public Lands Near Prospect Beach: Fire Island National Seashore, Patchogue - NY , 25 miles away West Rock Ridge State Park, Connecticut , 7 miles away Osbornedale State Park, Connecticut , 11 miles away Sleeping Giant State Park, Connecticut , 11 miles away Indian Well State Park, Connecticut , 13 miles away   Golf Courses Near Prospect Beach: Orange Hills Country Club, Orange , 3 miles away Grassy Hill Country Club, Orange , 6 miles away Orchards Golf Course, Milford , 7 miles away Laurel View Country Club Golf, Hamden , 8 miles away Hogans Pub At The Golf Club, Waitsfield , 8 miles away   Lakes Near Prospect Beach: Phipps Lake, New Haven County , 1 miles away Horseshoe Lagoon, New Haven County , 3 miles away Maltby Lake, New Haven County , 3 miles away Lake Wintergreen, New Haven County , 5 miles away Konolds Pond, New Haven County , 6 miles away
