recreation
A day in Greenwich can be spent doing a number of liesure activities. Greenwich has two main beaches, one is Greenwich Point (http://www.greenwichpoint.org/) which can be gotten to by the above directions. Greenwich residents can enter for free using beach passes, but those without beach passes have to go to the Community Center (https://www.ogrcc.com/sec...) behind the First Presbyterian Church to buy a beach pass. The other beach is on Great Captain Island which can be reached by taking the ferry in Greenwich Harbor which comes about every 30 minutes and does not require a pass. You can find lots of sand, fun and food, but watch out for bees. Also when swimming at Great Captain Island don't swim near the pier as jellyfish like to gather there.
marriage
Greenwich is a beautiful town to tie the knot in. It has churches of several Protestant denominations as well as two Catholic churches and a Synagogue (http://www.grs.org/). In recent months since same-sex marriage became legal in Connecticut, Greenwich has become a popular destination for same-sex couples from New York and elsewhere who want to marry. The town welcomes anyone who wishes to make their commitments official, and the local businesses welcome the extra business.
