Orchard Beach named a
top beach in NY and CT
BY BRONX TIMES
Orchard Beach, which will soon
be getting a $75 million facelift to
renovate the pavilion, was recently
dubbed one of the best beaches in
New York and Connecticut.
On June 10, nonprofit Save the
Sound released its 2021 Long Island
Sound Beach Report where it graded
more than 200 Long Island Sound
beaches on swimming water quality
and public access. It unveiled
the “Top 10 Beaches” on Long Island
Sound in NY and CT and Orchard
Beach was ranked as one of the Top
10, earning an “A-” grade.
The report offered good news for
swimmers, noting that 79 percent
of the more than 200 Long Island
Sound beaches highlighted earned
“A” or “B” grades for water quality
in the 2020 swimming season.
However, the report revealed a
decline in water quality at many
beaches in the days following rain
weather due to climate change. Several
regions showed substantially
higher percentages of wet weather
water quality failures than in previous
years. Save the Sound is calling
on elected officials to invest additional
resources in repairs and improvements
to sewer lines and storm
water systems, which impact beach
water quality after heavy and even
moderate rain.
“The great news illustrated in
this year’s report is that there are
superb swimming beaches across
the length and breadth of the Long
Island Sound in both NY and CT,”
said Tracy Brown, regional director
of water protection for Save the
Sound. “But the report also demonstrates
that there are challenges
still to be overcome involving wet
weather related pollution at specific
beaches, the quality of sewer or septic
infrastructure in some beach
communities as well as issues of re
