Atlantic Beach Park retains the same old-fashioned charm that characterized beach recreational areas of years gone by. It is still owned by the same family that purchased the land in 1920.

The first parcel of this property was purchased in 1920 from the Norwich Trolley Company by Julia and Harry Trefes. Subsequent purchases by them and their two sons eventually totaled 12 acres (49,000 m2).

It retains a carousel with antique band organ, kiddie rides, bumper cars, game room, an ice cream. More recently, mini-golf, go-karts, batting cage, waterslides, gift shop, and more have been added.
