Pleasure Beach
Bridgeport, CT, 06604
The Connecticut barrier beach that stretches more than 2 miles lands in Bridgeport, as the Pleasure Beach. It is a national refuge for wild birds like the piping glover and osprey that return each year. It has an interesting past, a fascinating present and an undetermined future. Perhaps that is what Bridgeport apartment resident like about it; the mystery. Pleasure Beach was once a popular amusement park. A wooden swing bridge and a ferry were used to cart folks across the water to the park. There are several cottages there as well that used to serve as apartments and homes. The 1960's saw part of the amusement park turned into a summer theater for plays and musicals. When part of the bridge was destroyed by fire Pleasure Beach slowly lost its draw for Bridgeport apartment residents. Nature took over and the piping glover and osprey began to make it their home. The area is now considered a ghost town by the Bridgeport apartments community. Bridgeport apartment communities can visit the lonely stretch of beach to view the many birds and the protected plant life like the prickly pear cactus and southern sea lavender. Talks are in progress to either restore the area or to sell it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
