Old Lyme, Connecticut Hotels, Things to do, and Vacation Information.
The town of Old Lyme, Connecticut, due to its location near
the beach and river and due to its proximity to bigger cities, has a population
that is composed of people who work in these cities, such as New London,
Hartford, and New Haven. The population of Old Lyme is relatively small but
during summer, the number of people in this town swells up due to the almost
staggering number of travelers who come to enjoy the Sound View public beach of
Old Lyme. The phenomenon of seasonal visitors led to the growth of Old Lyme
hotels that offer various vacation packages and
travel
guides. If this is your first time to have an Old Lyme vacation, it might
be more interesting to stay close to the beach and rent one of the numerous
summer residences. These residences can be occupied throughout the 14 weeks of
wonderful summer. But if the river is more to your taste, then the recommended
accommodations is the
Bee and
Thistle Inn because it borders the Lieutenant River. There is also a
lakefront park named Rogers Lake at Hains Park that might interest nature
lovers. But Old Lyme is not just about scenic beaches and serene landscapes. It
is the center of Barbizon and American Impressionism art and the results of the
town’s enthusiasm for the arts can be viewed at the Florence Griswold Museum.
