Learn more about Branford

Wander the historic Branford Green, where centuries-old buildings house shops that feel like discoveries rather than tourist traps. The Thimble Islands beckon offshore – tiny granite outcroppings where Victorian cottages perch improbably above the waves. Rent a kayak to explore these nautical neighborhoods or join a boat tour where captains share tales of pirates and presidents who visited. Stony Creek Brewery offers waterfront pints with views that improve with each sip. The town's six historic districts showcase architectural styles from Federal to Queen Anne, creating streetscapes that Hollywood location scouts would kill for. After browsing Branford Center's independent shops, claim a table at a shoreline restaurant where seafood arrives with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.
