Welcome
T
he shoreline towns that populate Fairfield and New Haven counties have so much to offer residents and visitors. Here in coastal Connecticut we are fortunate to enjoy the natural shoreline where boating, fishing, and swimming are a recreational mainstay. Originally settled part for
agriculture, coastal Connecticut still has farms to visit. Apple picking in the autumn is a rite of the season, with crisp apple tarts and crumbly apple pie, it is a delight to savor. As we head into winter days that grow colder and shorter, we gather with those we love to give thanks for hearth and home. We hope you’ll enjoy learning a bit
about our neighboring towns. It is remarkable how many natural parks and beaches are nearby to explore. An infinite amount of shops exist to provide retail therapy as well as dining choices to delight even the finest of taste buds. All this and hundreds of years of history to discover makes shoreline living an ever-blooming pleasure garden to explore and enjoy.
