Rowayton is an upscale neighborhood of the city of Norwalk, Connecticut, which is located in the southeast part of the state. It lies along the Long Island Sound, just 45 miles from New York City. According to Forbes Magazine, Rowayton is among the most expensive communities in the United States. It has a very active arts scene and the surrounding area has been inspiration for artists for centuries. The community also hosts an annual Shakespearean play at Pinkney Park, produced by Shakespeare on the Sound. Rowayton has several beaches. In the early 20th century, a boat landing west of Belle Island welcomed steam boats full of visitors from New York City to what was then the Roton Point Amusement Park. Visitors could also access the park via a trolley that ran from the cities of Norwalk and Darien, over present-day Langdon Preserve, to the Roton Point Park. Attractions in Rowayton, aside from the beaches, include Rock Ledge Estate, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. It's also the site of the annual Arthur J. Ladrigan Swim Race. Since 1935, swimmers from all over come to Rowayton to compete in a one-mile race from the Greens Ledge Lighthouse to Bayley Beach. Other races are also held the same day, including several for children, along with a pie-eating contest, egg toss, tug-of-war and other fun family events. Other things to do in the area include fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, birdwatching, hiking, camping, visiting the Norwalk Maritime Museum and the Stepping Stones Museum for Children

Rowayton Weather & Climate

The Southwest Corner of Connecticut has a climate that 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 annual weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. The adjacent waters result in the region being several degrees cooler in summer and slightly milder with less snowfall in winter than locations further away from the coast. This zone receives 41.7 inches of precipitation and 24.8 inches of snowfall in an average year. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year, with the greatest frequency during the summer months and in the afternoon or evening.
