I finally made it to Sandy Point last Wednesday.  It was a great day.  I got there early before it was crowded and set up in the main beach area.  When the lifeguard came on duty I did ask him if thongs were ok and he said yes.  By mid-afternoon the beach was quite crowded, but I never had any problems or hassles.  I did pretty much stick to myself.  I was definitely the only one (that I saw) in a thong, and I did attract a good bit of attention, but no one complained.

Sandy Point is definitely a good place to thong.  There are lots of relatively unpopulated areas up and down the beach if you want to be by yourself, but there seems to be no problem if you thong right along with everybody else (which I prefer).  There were plenty of rangers around, but no one said a word to me all day.

Go for it, SlidingG!  I always ask when in a questionable situation, because all they can do is say no.  Which means you aren't any worse off than if you had never asked in the first place and just assumed it was not ok.

Good luck as I have heard thongs are not ok in Connecticut, but it never hurts to ask.

Thanks for the report, NoVa...Good to hear that a female thonger was at Sandy Point. I hope she tells her friends what a great place it is to get some sun. I just got back from a week at Chincoteague (where I did some thonging), but hope to get out to Sandy Point next week.

Thanks for the post nova. Hoping to hit Sandy Point on Thursday of this coming week. Hopefully it won't be too crowded.

I've seen four or five women wearing thongs at Sandy Point during the past two years, though I've only seen one of them more than once -- a Latino woman who brought her young children.  Most of these women were on the east-facing beach next to the point, close to the small boat launch ramp. 

I recently made it to Sandy Point for only the third time this year.  Interestingly, both this summer and last summer, just about all of the thonging men I've seen have been wearing G-strings.  And still, I have yet to hear a negative remark from anyone else.  What a great environment for thonging this is.  

Sandy Point State Park can be reached just off Rt. 50 before you get to the Bay Bridge going east (the last exit before toll booths). Follow the signs to the park. The place where people (usually guys) thong at Sandy Point is called East Beach...you drive into the entrance (a $3 or $4 fee unless you're my age) and then before you get to the main beach which is straight ahead (called South Beach) you drive around a parking lot that is on the left to get to a smaller parking lot near a boat launching ramp. There are two rock jetties going out into the bay to your left...you walk up to the second jetty (just this side of group picnic area) and that's where you will sometimes find a few thongers. The walk is about 1/4 mile. Once in awhile you'll see a thonger near the end of the main beach toward that boat launching site, but often families with young children will be there. I've also read someplace on this board I believe that there has been thonging on the far end of the main beach toward the bay bridge, but I've never seen that.
