Connecticut has colonial history, beautiful Atlantic beaches, and seaside villages filled with nautical experiences. Connecticut offers a small, easy to manage vacation experience with the Big Apple just next door.

Some of the more popular areas are Mystic, a whaling and shipbuilding center in the 17th through 19th centuries. This area is a popular historic and marine-life attraction.

New Haven is home to historic Yale University, museums, a zoo, and historic mansions and lighthouses to explore.

The central part of the state, including the Waterbury region and the greater Hartford capital area, is home to historic houses, a soaring center, apple orchards, and one of the country's oldest amusement parks still in operation.

Connecticut will truly offer a quaint vacation experience. If you want to come back year after year, check out the Water's Edge Inn and Resort located in Westbrook.
