cjg1 Says: Rye Beach is the closest beach to Playland and down from Oakland Beach. There is also a pool but we do not use it (Liz is not a fan of public pools and this one can get gross and for $6, I will use my own pool at home). In the summer there is a small fee to get on the...
cjg1 Says: Oakland Beach is one of our favorite places in Rye. We love to take walks along the water or just sit on a bench and enjoy the sunset.
Gypsystravels Says: Although Oakland Beach shares the same stretch of sand and water, it is divided by a "fence" and a separate beach from Rye Beach. The beach is a bit larger than Rye, and the price to enter the beach is also more expensive. The fee to this beach is $8. The beach also has...
Gypsystravels Says: Just like Rye Beach, the pool is part of the Playland area. The entrance fee to the pool alone is $6 (and you can enter the beach for free after). Basically, they have a combo ticket you can purchase, if you go to the beach first, the pool is only $2 more, or if you go to...

Piazza Pizzeria & Deli: Our neighborhood pizza joint
Gypsystravels Says: Piazza Pizza is our local pizza joint not too far from home. They have a large variety of dishes to choose from. It's quite small though with only a few tables if you decide you want to eat in, but most people order to go. They have delivery service which is usually quick...

This is a mens clothing store where they have good enough suits for the day to day. I will usually wait until they have a sale to pick another one up but to me it is their traveler shirts and ties that are the highlight here.

cjg1 Says: In the Sumer months the town of Rye and the beaches in particular are invaded with out of towners arriving by bus, train and car. Playland park, Rye Park, Rye Beach, Oakland Beach and the pools become jammed with masses of bodies. The crowds can be quite ridiculous cramming...
cjg1 Says: Trust me, when you are in Rye you need to obey the speed limit. The Rye cops just love to pull people over for the slightest infraction even if it's just one mile over the speed limit. Do yourself a favor and watch for the speed limit signs and keep it slow when in this...

Our most recent walk through Rye Town Park yielding a first sighting that Spring was almost here. We spied two bright yellow daffodils growing by some rocks in the park. Watching the winter fade away and evidence of Spring begining to bloom always makes me happy.

Favorite thing: In the Fall when the sumer crowds are long gone.the beach is ours again. Liz and I are able to walk over to the beach and enjoy a nice stroll along the boardwalk, park or beach. The crisp fall air in our lungs is refreshing during our walks. Watching the leaves change in the park from green to gold, orange, red and brown is a reason why we love the Autumn.
