Connecticut Beaches and Water Fun Guide
Did you know that Connecticut has 618 miles of coastline? That's a lot of beach territory! We won't pretend to include all of it in this guide but we'll keep adding to it so check back often. Being on the Long Island Sound you won't find big surf here however you will find calm relaxing water and scenic New England beauty.
Of course we not only have beaches but beautiful lakes, rivers and ponds, not to mention great water parks and playgrounds too. Whatever you may be looking for you'll be sure to find something to suit your needs in this Connecticut Beach and Water Fun Guide.
