Ocean - Beach - River

Come enjoy the natural beauty of Old Saybrook at any time of the year. Take your canoe into the hidden beauty of coves, creeks and marshes and get a close-up view of the herons and egrets feeding. If you are lucky, you will catch sight of an osprey on its nest or perched in a tree eating its latest catch.

Walk the beach at sunset; check out the boats from all over the country docked at the marinas at Saybrook Point. Play mini-golf with one of the best views you?ll ever find.

Fresh air, sport and scenery make fishing a very popular pastime, whether on the Sound or the River.

Winter brings a special beauty of its own. Take an Eagle Cruise on the Connecticut River, or come see the Torchlight Parade during the Christmas season.

We have history, antique shops, art galleries and natural beauty. Come by water, rail, or car and be sure to bring your camera.
