The clean sandy beaches along New England’s 9,650 km coastline have always been popular with locals and visitors from all over the world. And who wouldn’t enjoy fresh lobster on a lobster shack, fried clams and homemade ice cream on a long, hot summer’s day? Once you’ve had a beach holiday in New England, you’re guaranteed to come back!
Connecticut
Connecticut has a lot to offer in midsummer: Beaches, bays and boats. And not to forget Lobster Shacks. Some of the state’s most beautiful beaches are in the south, not so far from New York, including East Norwalks Calf Pasture Beach, where British troops landed during the Revolution. Today it is more peaceful and relaxing. A little to the east is Westport’s Sherwood Island State Park, Connecticut’s first state park. If you’re looking for a bit of power, drive to Compo Beach in Westport. There are basketball and beach volleyball fields, but there are also picnic areas with barbecues.
