Five Mile Point Lighthouse was constructed to guide sailors through rough waters. Still a distinguished local landmark today, it's bound to have a few stories to tell about sailing triumphs and rescues.
You'll have to pay an entry fee to explore this longstanding beacon in the leafy neighborhood of East Shore, so research the cost before you go. If you'd like more fun activities after your visit to Five Mile Point Lighthouse, Yale Bowl, Shubert Theater and New Haven Green aren't far away.
