Old Saybrook

1 of 3

Old Saybrook is a magnificent old hamlet nestled on the banks of the Connecticut River. It is one of Connecticut's most historic towns and one of the state's most attractive.

Because people have lived here since 1635, there are several historical sites to see, such as the General William Hart House and Fort Storybrook Monument Park. The Lynde Point Lighthouse is one of the best sites to visit near you during your stay in this seaside town. This lighthouse, built in 1886, is best viewed from the river or Maple Street.

A quiet day at Harvey's Beach is one of the greatest things to do in Old Saybrook. If you're traveling with children, they'll enjoy Saybrook Point's mini-golf and the historic Saybrook Breakwater Light. Try to see a show at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center and Theater, go for a bike ride along with the river, or sample many types of fudge on Main Street.
