McCook Point is a public park and beach located in the village of Niantic in the town of East Lyme. It adjoins the town's Hole in the Wall Beach to its east and the private Crescent Beach to its west. Combined, the two parks encompass 21 acres of land, the bulk of which is within the section known as McCook Point Park. McCook Park has the following facilities: * A covered picnic pavilion that can be rented and reserved for use * Two restroom facilities: one at the lower beach area, the other on the bluff near the picnic pavilion * Playground equipment on the bluff area * Parking by the beach and on the bluff by the pavilion ==Geography== McCook Point Park consists of the point itself which stands about 40 feet above sea level, and a beach area that is the easternmost point of the Crescent Beach area. The point represents an example of the geological forces that created the northern shore of the Long Island Sound: a combination of three mountain building events creating bedrock units with a north-south grain, and subsequent glacial action that eroded the softer rock structure to create the existing coastline including McCook Point and adjoining Black Point.〔(Connecticut Geology: The Grain of the land ) Long Island Sound Resources.
