Stonington, CT

The video essay above is by photographer Mike Dunphy, who spent the day capturing images in and around Stonington Harbor.   

Just ten minutes from the Mystic drawbridge lies Stonington Borough, called “the most beautiful seaside village in New England.” Because the Borough is a narrow, mile-long peninsula pointing into Fisher’s Island Sound and Little Narragansett Bay, nothing is more than a short walk from your car or boat.

From “The Point” you can view three states--Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York-- or see the last remaining commercial fleet in the state bring lobster and famous scallops and flounder to the Town Dock. Stonington Borough is a major yachting center with all the amenities and our beautiful harbor boasts boats of all types and sizes.

The Borough is home to wonderful restaurants, sophisticated bistros, popular coffee and sandwich shops, delis, and many unique stores, boutiques and galleries. A newsstand, a bank, real estate offices, hair dressers and decorators occupy charming storefronts in old buildings. We are proud and happy to invite you to come to Stonington Borough in any season and see why visitors fall in love with our village: The Jewel of Connecticut’s Coast.
