East-Lyme is located in New London County in eastern Connecticut. The population is approximately 18,000. Two villages lie within the town of East Lyme: the village of Flanders and the village of Niantic. Many people refer to the town of East Lyme as "Niantic," because this is the beach side of town that's very popular with tourists, especially in the summer months. The population of Niantic almost doubles during the beach season, whereas the Flanders side of town is quiet and known for its' apple orchards and forest. Then, in turn, the village of Niantic includes the beach communities of Attawan Beach, Black Point, Crescent Beach, Giants Neck Beach, Giants Neck Heights, Oak Grove Beach, Old Black Point, Pine Grove, and Saunders Point. So, here we see several "communities" located within a village that's located within a town! Aside from tourism, the main industry in town is fishing, so lots of great seafood restaurants can be found in East Lyme. Other attractions include casinos, the Children's Museum of Southeastern Connecticut and Rocky Neck State Park, which offers swimming, fishing, camping and picnicking. The Niantic Bay Boardwalk is accessed from the town's Hole-in-the-Wall Beach and is a great place to walk and enjoy the views.

East Lyme Weather & Climate

Southeast Connecticut lies within the transition zone of humid subtropical and a humid continental. Although the seasonal extremes are slightly moderated by Long Island Sound, the primary weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. A large number of air-mass fronts pass over this region during a year: cold, dry air pouring down from sub arctic North America, warm, moist air streaming up from the Gulf of Mexico, and cool, damp air moving in from the North Atlantic. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year. Aside from infrequent tornadoes and hurricanes, coastal storms or "northeasters" are the most serious weather hazard in Connecticut. They generate very strong winds and heavy rain and produce the greatest snowstorms in the winter.
