THE STORY OF WESTPORT

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.
