Niantic is a small coastal community just minutes west of New London and directly across Long Island Sound from Montauk. It is very much a classic beach town—Main Street runs roughly parallel to the shore and often within sight of Niantic Bay. The area surrounding Main is a quaint mix of attractive houses, specialty shops, and restaurants in a walkable environment.
In addition to its picturesque atmosphere, the local schools earn top marks, making it a very appealing location for families. There is a significant military presence in Niantic, with Camp Rowland and Camp Niantic on the northeast corner of town and Naval Submarine Base New London just a short drive away.
