Niantic is home to one of the most unique state parks in Connecticut. Rocky Neck State Park has a one half mile long sandy beach, offshore islands, concessions, a pavilion, and more. It’s an excellent place to spend a day crabbing, fishing, hiking, and swimming! Another popular destination is the Children’s Museum of Southeastern Connecticut. The museum provides a hands-on educational experience for toddlers through 4th grade age children. Indoors or out, visitors to Niantic will be sure to enjoy a one-of-a-kind coastal vacation.
