Review & FAQ:

Not far from New Haven and quite easily accessible from local major cities like New York and Boston, Madison is one of Connecticut's truly precious gems. This little coastal town has some of the very best stretches of sand in the entire state. It looks out over the Long Island Sound, with lovely views in every single direction and a lot of nice amenities and high quality restaurants nearby.

For now, tourists haven't really heard of this place, so the vibe is quite laid-back and quiet on Madison's beaches most of the time, but we can expect word to start spreading about this little treasure in the not so distant future.
