Hotels in Coastal Connecticut, United States

Coastal Connecticut, along the Long Island Sound, has a humid continental climate with warm summers perfect for kayaking in the sound's calm waters and visiting the Mystic Seaport Museum's historic ships. In autumn, the crisp air and inland foliage draws leaf-peepers to the rocky beaches near Stonington, while winter brings fewer crowds and lower lodging rates-try winter hiking at Bluff Point State Park for views of frozen coves. Spring offers mild temperatures (50s-60s°F, 10-20°C) ideal for exploring the renovated MGM's Edgerton Park in New Haven before outdoor jazz concerts start in June.
