Transportation to the Beach
Posted on October 7, 2003 by Jack DeVeuve
Transportation to the Beach. Visitors were transported for their holidays at Horseneck beaches by horse and wagon, on horseback, or on foot. The name “Horseneck” is believed to be a corruption of “Hassenegk”, an Indian name for Westport’s long, sandy beaches. Some popular thought holds that the name derives from the topographical shape of the beach.
