The Amtrak and ShoreLine East train station is just a short 5 minute drive away in Downtown New London, as well as a Greyhound Bus station and Major Ferry Station - The Cross Sound Ferry that ships to Orient Point Long Island, where you can explore the wineries. Also, the Block Island Ferry and the Fishers Island Ferry add to the adventurous getaways available by sea. There is no shortage of day trips you can take when it's just a 5 minute drive back to the house! But if you feel the urge to travel by air, the Bradley International Airport is under an hour away, and Providence Airport within 30 minutes away.
Great location in Ridgewood Park, along Alewife Cove in walking distance to Ocean Beach, Waterford Beach, Eugene O'Neill Theater, and Harkness State Park. Come watch the ospreys and cormorants, or go crabbing in the cove!
