East Lyme is really two villages under one town hall. On the Sound sits Niantic, the coastal village named for the Nehantic — the Niantic people — who fished these waters and gathered along the shore for centuries before the English arrived. Inland sits Flanders, a farm district that took its name from the Belgian-style cottage textiles once spun along the old Post Road. The two have always pulled in different directions — one toward the water, one toward the land — and East Lyme is the town that holds them together.
East Lyme is two villages on Niantic Bay, where the scallop boats and the salt marsh meet the Sound — a quiet stretch of Connecticut shoreline with a 1660 saltbox, a WPA-built park pavilion, and a mile of boardwalk along the water. Our East Lyme designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the shoreline. Wear the scallop and the Sound.
Why People Visit East Lyme
East Lyme rewards visitors who want the Connecticut shoreline at its most easygoing — a sandy state-park beach, a waterfront boardwalk, and a village built on the bay. People come for Rocky Neck and the Niantic Bay Boardwalk, for the colonial Thomas Lee House, and for a simple, scenic shoreline day where beach-cottage summers and quiet New England history sit a short walk apart.
