Tod's Point (Greenwich Point) Guide

Can non-residents go to Tod's Point?

Yes. Greenwich Point is a town park, not a residents-only beach, but non-residents pay to enter in season. Under the town's 2026 beach policy, from May 1 to October 31:

• Between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., every visitor shows a Greenwich resident seasonal pass or a Single Entry Park ticket.
• Before 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m., visitors need no person ticket.
• Every car with non-Greenwich registration needs a Single Entry Parking ticket at any hour, unless the driver has a resident pass and a resident vehicle permit.

Buy single-entry tickets online through the town's WebTrac ticket site. The town does not sell them at Town Hall (Parks & Recreation 2026 fee packet).

How much does Tod's Point parking cost?

A day trip for two adults and two children ages 6 and 9 in one car costs $80: four park tickets at $10 and one parking ticket at $40. The fees come from the Parks & Recreation fee proposal to the Board of Selectmen, which lists the 2025 fee next to the proposed 2026 fee. The table shows the two were the same for single-entry tickets.

Just moved to town? Your car counts as non-Greenwich until its registration shows your Greenwich address, which is why the resident sticker costs more for a car registered elsewhere. Our relocation guide covers the rest of the first-month paperwork.

What are the Tod's Point hours?

The park opens at 6 a.m. and closes at sunset, according to the town's Greenwich Point Park page. In pass season the gate checks walk-in visitors from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., so an early swim or a sunset walk skips the person fee. A car still needs its parking ticket.

Is Tod's Point dog friendly?

In winter. The town allows leashed, licensed dogs at Greenwich Point from December 1 to March 31 every year, and Connecticut requires a license for dogs 6 months and older (Dogs in Greenwich). The rest of the year, leave the dog at home.

What can you do at Tod's Point?

• Picnic areas with town grills, plus walking trails, Eagle Pond and the Holly Grove.
