Norwalk Travel Guide

Norwalk Connecticut is a mid-sized port city that borders the waterfront of the Long Island Sound. Its location makes Norwalk the perfect spot for enjoying a blend of both cosmopolitan and natural activities and adventures.

Things to Do in Norwalk

Owing to its location on the Long Island Sound, Norwalk is home to beautiful beaches and coastlines. One such beach, the Calf Pasture Beach is well worth a visit and extends over 35 acres. Enjoy sunbathing, relaxing or swimming here and when finished, venture inside one of the many bars and restaurants that border the seafront.

The old fishing pier that stands at the Calf Pasture Beach is a great place to watch local fishermen in action or try your hand and join them. In downtown Norwalk, it's possible to take tours of the ornate 18th-century Victorian mansion Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum -- a worthwhile journey back in time for the whole family.

Best Time to Visit Norwalk

Norwalk Connecticut is best enjoyed during the summer when temperatures are hot enough to enjoy the beaches.
