New London Harbor Lighthouse is a historic landmark built in 1801 for the fishing and whaling industries. It is Connecticut's oldest and tallest beacon, and the fourth oldest in the US. The keeper's house is closed to the public; however, tours are available if you have over six people. The unique advantage is that during a tower tour on a clear day, you can see up to 7 lighthouses - two in Connecticut and five along New York in the sound. More lighthouses can be seen from this spot than any other place on earth.

Ocean Beach

Highlight • Beach

Ocean Beach and Ocean Beach Park have plenty of parking and offer public beachfront access, a boardwalk, and various events throughout the year. Events happen more often during the summer months. When the weather is nice, at least one of the few concession stands will be open.

Osprey Beach

Highlight • Beach

Enjoy exploring along the sandy shores, soaking in the views of Long Island Sound and the stunning scenery. Breathe in the salty air and feel the sand between your toes. Peek into the history of the area at the Old Lighthouse Foundation, which preserves the foundation of the original 1808 lighthouse.
