Tag Archives: Burying Hill Beach

Burying Hill Beach does not get many visitors.

But it sure gets a lot of love.

The small, sometimes eroding spit of sand, with its gentle (burying) hill and marshes separating it from Sherwood Island State Park, is a favored spot for all who know it.

In fact, someone painted “One Love” on the low wall near the entrance. That was the subject of Andrew Colabella’s image in last week’s Photo Challenge. (Click here to see.)

Bob Grant, Fred Cantor, Cheryl McKenna, Seth Schachter, Bruce Salvo, Ed Simek, Michael Calise, Arline Gertzoff, Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Will Luedke and Amy Schneider all quickly identified the location.

If you did not recognize it — or have never been to Burying Hill Beach — what are you waiting for?!

This week’s Photo Challenge may be the most beautiful one ever. Michael Tomashefsky’s shot could be many places in Westport. But if you know exactly where you’d see this autumn scene, click “Comments” below.

Burying Hill is a rocky beach. The sand is rocky; so is the floor of the Sound, as you venture into the water. There’s even a cement wall, built atop large rocks.

But the small beach draws a loyal crowd. They know that “Burying Hill rocks.”

They also knew that John Karrel’s photo — showing a bunch of stones, underneath a clever “Kindness Rocks” sign — was taken right there, off Beachside Avenue. (Click here to see.)

Andrew Colabella, Chip Stephens, Bill Shaner, Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Lindsay Weiner and Ralph Balducci all nailed this one. Rock on!

So how about this week’s Photo Challenge? If you know where you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
