Welcome to the Village of Niantic, CT

Welcome to Niantic, CT, a place of history, entertainment and wonderful culture! Niantic, CT refers to a village in the town of East Lyme, Connecticut. The current population is 3,135. The village of Niantic, CT has a total area of 3.5 square miles. Of this total distance, 1.5 square miles is land and 2.1 square miles is water. This small village still offers a great deal of culture, history and fun. This village is located right on the estuary of Long Island Sound.

What Is There to Do in Niantic, CT?
Niantic, CT may be a small village, but there are many indoor and outdoor activities for visitors to enjoy. The village is very high on water activities, such as boating, swimming and fishing. Its close proximity to the river no doubt contributes to this coastal lifestyle. The village of Niantic, Connecticut also hosts sailboat races through the Niantic Bay Yacht Club. Other notable landmarks in the region include the Millstone Nuclear Power Plant (in Waterford) and the Rocky Neck State Park.

The Rocky Neck State Park welcomes beach dwellers to the coast of Long Island Sound, as well as several offshore islands. Some of these include Gardiners Island, Plum Island and Orient Point. The beach area within the village of Niantic, Connecticut is well known for its sandbar. The sandbar area is actually one of the few sandy sections of beach anywhere in the state’s shorelines. Many of the other beaches are covered in rocks, which doesn’t make for a very sandy beach party. In fact, when the low tide settles in, the sandbar area is totally exposed. This allows beach dwellers to walk into the water for a much longer distance.

Meet the People of the Niantic Village
As you can imagine the beach area is most appealing to children who can build sandcastles, dig holes or throw mud at each other. (Ah, to be a kid again!) Adults might enjoy beach dwelling too, but chances are, they will be more excited about the camping area. Summer months are the most active. During the winter season, the camping scene is the greater attraction, as families can hike through woods and trails.

What can we say about the people that make up the village of Niantic, Connecticut? The population is predominantly white and the median age for residents is 42. The housing scene is promising, as there were 1,756 units in total and the median price of housing units was $337,612. The median income for a household was $54,872.

Throughout this small village, there are also many accommodations and establishments that cater to the needs of guests. Popular village of Niantic restaurants include Skipper’s Restaurant, La Belle Aurore and the Niantic Diner. Notable village of Niantic hotels include the Morton Hotel, the Ramada Limited and Suites Hotel, the Inn at Harbor Hill Marina, and the Niantic Inn.

Come visit the Niantic Village for a glimpse of smalltime community life and for a revelation of early American history!
