Day Adventure: Branford
A boat tour through an archipelago of tiny pink-granite islands with pirate-treasure legends, a village that time forgot, seafood-shack lunch, and ice cream on the green. Episode three goes to the shoreline.
BeachesEast Lyme, CT
Rocky Neck State Park
A half-mile crescent of calm, shallow water, a 1930s stone pavilion that looks like a castle, and trains rumbling over the marsh. The little-kid beach, perfected.
BeachesMadison, CT
Hammonasset Beach State Park
Two miles of beach, a boardwalk that goes forever, a free nature center with touch tanks, and a campground big enough to make a whole weekend of it.
Hidden GemsNiantic (East Lyme), CT
The Book Barn & the Niantic Boardwalk
An outdoor used bookstore with resident cats and goats, a mile of boardwalk over the beach, and ice cream in between. The most un-Google-able great Saturday in Connecticut.
BeachesMilford, CT
Silver Sands State Park
A boardwalk over the marsh, a beach that doesn't require a highway drive, and a sandbar that appears out of the ocean twice a day like a magic trick.
