Along the Connecticut coastline lies a tiny strip of land known as “Woodmont.”* Home to many hundreds of Jewish vacationers beginning in the 1920s, the beaches of Milford, CT, which were mainly populated by Jews came to be known collectively as “Bagel Beach.” Although not at all exclusively within the boundaries of the Borough of Woodmont, the Jewish vacationers also referred to this area as “Woodmont” in part because of the trolley stop—Woodmont—from where most disembarked as they made their way to their summer cottages and homes. If you listen closely, you can hear the whispers of the rocks and sand beckoning, inviting you to hear of the Woodmont that once was. They reverberate with the sounds of children playing by the water, the laughter of their parents, the cries of the boaters reeling in their catch, the calls of the milkman and fishman making their rounds among the cottages, and the special camaraderie shared by neighbors. Ask anyone who spent summers at Bagel Beach, and they will surely tell you, “Those were the best days of my life.”
