Share Guide

Situated in the southwestern quadrant of East Lyme, Niantic emanates a friendly, warm, and inviting sense of community. This seaside village features foot, car, boat, or train accessibility. Twenty minutes south of Mystic Seaport, one hour from New Haven, and two hours from New York City and Boston, this neighborhood features a town beach, ideal for water lovers. Leave your apartment and head for Main Street, a well-planned, walkable downtown area that runs parallel to Long Island Sound. Walk or bicycle to the grocery store, meet friends for lunch, or shop for antiques and fashions at charming boutiques along the way.

Locals gather at the Lyme Tavern, a lively sports bar with a free happy hour buffet, TVs, pool tables, and an outside bar area. For the freshest lobster roll and hand-battered whole-belly clams in the state, take a seat indoors or on the patio at Skippers Seafood and enjoy a casual meal with views of the Niantic Bay.
