Best Places to Stay in Niantic

As with most locations like Niantic, we recommend staying near to the sea, as views are better and activities more abundant. Unforunately staying near the water comes with the higher price tag, so those who are looking for a more budget friendly option should look a bit further inland.

Best Time to Visit Niantic

The best time of year to visit Niantic is during the summer months. While Niantic does have things to offer all year, summer does allow for visitors to really embrace the beachside location.

There are some mouthwatering spots for foodies to sample when visiting Niantic. Skipper's is known for having some of the best seafood food in the area, which is saying something. If you love pub food and that kind of vibe, then you’re going to want also to check out The Black Sheep. The number of locals should be a good indicator for how good this spot is.
