Which area of Old Lyme is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area of Old Lyme for beaches is the stretch along the Long Island Sound, particularly around Sound View Beach and White Sands Beach.

This coastal area is characterised by its sandy shores and direct access to the water. It's a popular spot for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying the ocean views. You'll find a mix of beach houses, cottages, and a few hotels lining the coast, especially along Hartford Avenue and its intersecting streets.

Families often find this area ideal due to the easy access to the beaches. Children can spend hours building sandcastles and playing in the shallow waters, and many accommodations are just a short walk from the shoreline.

It's a wonderful time for families to enjoy the coastal atmosphere, build sandcastles, and participate in watersports. Many local events and outdoor concerts also take place, adding to the vibrant summer experience. Given the popularity of this period, securing reservations for beachside dining or specific family-friendly activities well in advance is highly recommended.
