Westport, CT provides its 26,000+ residents with a storied and coveted town-
related brand name that invariably evokes admiration and envy. Located on
the Saugatuck River and Long Island Sound, and only 45 miles from New York
City, Westport is considered by many to be the cradle of cultured Connecticut
living. It is a community where collective commitment to both the arts and the
manifestations of human achievement reigns supreme.

Westport's unified dedication to excellence in education, the arts, the
preservation of its awe-inspiring ecology, incomparable parks and recreational
resources – and a community where all people and faiths are respected – makes
it abundantly clear that the Westport lifestyle is one that has been meticulously
managed by the community at large for decades. Below are some of the many
wonders that the town of Westport has to offer…

Westport's natural beauty and dazzling array of outdoor recreational amenities
begin with three stunningly beautiful beaches – Compo Beach, Old Mill, and
Burying Hill Beach – each offering distinct seashore experiences.

Compo Beach is the recreational epicenter of Westport's venerated shoreline.
Its nearly 30 acres of combined grounds and shoreline supports a myriad
of recreational pursuits – be it beach volleyball, picnicking, athletic fields,
concession stand and children's playground, all of which make this town a
favorite summer hot spot.

Westport’s Longshore Club Park, directly overlooking Long Island
Sound, includes an 18-hole golf course, sailing school, multiple
tennis courts, 3 swimming pools, a large playscape, picnic area,
concession stand, marina, the Inn at Longshore and gourmet
restaurant.

The Hunt Club section is a pronounced pastoral area
where its centerpiece, the Fairfield County Hunt
Club, enjoys equestrian splendor and
other sports amenities.
