Clinton is a quaint, waterfront town along the shores of the Long Island Sound. The area has beautiful beaches, multiple marinas, and farmlands with horses creating a relaxing coastal countryside atmosphere. Clinton is also the birthplace of Yale University. The small town was originally home to the Collegiate School, which was later moved to New Haven and renamed. The spirit of quality education continues in the schools in Clinton, making it a great place to raise families.
There is plenty to do in this coastal small town. Hammonasset State Beach Park is a great example of the beaches located in and around Clinton. This beach has a boardwalk, boat launch, and over 500 campsites for locals and visitors to enjoy. To experience even more outdoor living with modern twists, travel to Riverdale Farms Campsite which offers Wi-Fi access, a video arcade, a laundromat, and 50-amp electric service.
Clinton is also a great location for shopping and dining. This pastoral haven is home to the Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets, which houses over 50 premium and designer brands. They’re also pet friendly! After a long day of relaxing on the beach, Clinton residents can enjoy an array of delicious eats. Enjoy a farm-to-table French meal with picturesque landscape views at Chamard Vineyards Bistro. Of course, Clinton has tons of eateries with views of the water serving fresh seafood. Try Lobster Landing, a 100-year-old shack serving up seafood of all kinds. Although Clinton has more than enough to offer, the town is only 30 minutes away from New Haven, giving quick access to Yale University and other attractions.
