Hotels in Coastal Connecticut, United States of America

Coastal Connecticut stretches along the Long Island Sound, with a humid climate bringing warm summers (around 80°F or 27°C) and cold winters (often below freezing). The region is famous for its historic lighthouses, like the 1846 New London Ledge Lighthouse, and a strong maritime heritage best explored at Mystic Seaport, a living museum of 19th-century ships. In summer, you can kayak the Sound or stroll the boardwalks at Hammonasset Beach, while winter invites you to warm up with a classic New Haven-style pizza at Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana or tour Yale University's Gothic architecture.
