About Bayley Beach

Bayley Beach, part of Neville Bayley Park, is owned and maintained by the District for the use of its residents. Sixth District  residents may obtain permits for beach use by application at the Library starting in May. Lifeguard services are provided in season from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Children's playground, basketball court, volleyball area and Pavillon Restrooms and picnic tables are available. Five tennis courts, maintained by the Association and leased from the district, are for the use of members.

Bayley Beach was once a part of Roton Point Amusement Park, in operation from the late 1800's until late 1942.

Other residential areas of Rowayton known as Pine Point, Bell Island and the Beach Association have private beaches which are maintained by the resident associations.

Directions to Bayley Beach

From I-95 North:
Coming north off 95, take Exit 12 and take a right at the end of the ramp. You are on Tokeneke Road. Stay with this all the way through two lights until you come into the town of Rowayton. At the second light, the street will become Rowayton Avenue; do not turn left at this light – stay along the water! After you pass the Village area (Rowayton Market on right, Post Office and hardware stores on left, etc.), proceed about 200 yards to a stop sign.

At this stop sign, make a left on to Route 136, which is also McKinley Street. You will go 100 yards and come to a traffic light; make a right at this light on to Roton Avenue. After about 2/10 of a mile, you will come to a stop sign (Crockett Street). Proceed straight through the stop sign; you will next pass Drum Street on the right -- again, proceed straight.

Roton will merge with Pine Point Road shortly after Drum; do not turn right toward the Weeburn Beach Club. Bear slighly left, and after about 100 yards (fenced-off open space of dense forest area on right), you will see a break in the fence and the driveway to the Roton Point Club and Bayley Beach (near a yellow fire hydrant, you will see signs for both beaches hanging from the wire mesh fence). Bear right into this driveway; after about 100 yards, the driveway will end -- bear right into to Bayley Beach and check in at the guard desk (if you bear left, you're entering the Roton Point Club).

From I-95 South:
Coming south on 95, take Exit 14. Go left at the light -- you will be facing Swanky Frank's, and you'll be turning on to Route 1/ Boston Post Road.  You'll go left at the next light (Scribner Avenue – Pizza Hut will be on your left). You'll come to a Stop Sign, and turn right on Flax Hill Road. Next go left on Highland Avenue.

You will stay with Highland Avenue for 2-3 miles all the way to Rowayton. You will come to a "T" intersection where Highland meets Route 136 and Wilson Avenue. You will stay on Highland by bearing left and immediately bearing right (do not make a complete left turn – that will put you on Route 136 heading toward Wilson Point and South Norwalk).

You will pass the Rowayton Library and community center on the right; at the next intersection, turn right on to McKinley Street. At the next light, turn left on Roton Avenue and follow the directions above to the beach.
