💡 Tips

  • The Stratford Point Lighthouse is a beautiful landmark, but it is typically closed to the public; views are best from the surrounding perimeter fence.
  • Driving around the peninsula provides lovely views of Long Island Sound, but respect the 25 mph speed limit strictly enforced in this residential area.
  • Birdwatching is excellent near Stratford Point, especially during spring and fall migrations.
