The cove is considered one of the most scenic and ecologically significant waterways in the Northeast. Lyme is also home to the beloved Hamburg Fair, one of Connecticut's oldest agricultural fairs.

Despite its peaceful setting, Lyme offers convenient access to Old Lyme galleries, Essex's charming village, marinas along the Connecticut River, and Amtrak service in Old Saybrook, making travel to both Boston and New York City easily accessible. Combining natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and a strong sense of community, Lyme offers an extraordinary Connecticut lifestyle.
