East Lyme, CT Homes for Sale

Living in East Lyme

East Lyme sits on Long Island Sound between Waterford and Old Lyme. Its two main villages are Niantic, on the water, and Flanders, inland along Route 161. Niantic's Main Street has shops and restaurants, and the Niantic Bay Boardwalk runs about a mile along the water. Beach neighborhoods like Black Point, Crescent Beach, Giants Neck and Saunders Point line the shore.

Rocky Neck State Park has a big public beach on the Sound, and McCook Park Beach is right in Niantic. The Thomas Lee House dates to around 1660, and the Children's Museum of Southeastern Connecticut is on Main Street. I-95 runs through town, and I-395 begins at the East Lyme-Waterford line.
