There are many places in Westport with “Shoreline Public Access.”
Last week’s Photo Challenge by Rich Stein — of a sign with those words — brought many to mind: the Parker Harding Plaza “bridge to nowhere. Saugatuck Shores. The state boat launch, underneath I-95. Gorham Island. Beachside Avenue. Deadman Brook. Sherwood Island Sate Park. Mitchells. (Click here to see.)
All were wrong. This one was so tough, even Andrew Colabella guessed incorrectly.
The actual spot was on the wooden walkway behind the medical office buildings on Riverside Avenue — just north of the Saugatuck Avenue fork.
Johanna Keyser Rossi, Robert Mitchell, Beth Berkowitz and Alicia M. Mozian were the only readers who knew exactly where this one of many “Public Access” signs stands.
But how nice to know we have so many other ways to enjoy the water too.
This week’s Photo Challenge is a tough one too.
But this is not just any rock. And — because it’s a holiday weekend — I’ll offer a hint: It’s closely connected to Independence Day.
