Short Beach Tours

Whether you're dipping a toe in the water or searching for treasures on the shoreline, Short Beach is a great place to spend time with the kids. Why not pack a picnic and make a day of it?

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when visiting Stratford. Short Beach is an ideal place to kick off here, but there are many other worthwhile sights to experience. Total Mortgage Arena, Westfield Connecticut Post Mall, and Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater are not far from the stretch of coastline and will fill in your day nicely.

It was a nice stay. I enjoyed the breakfast that we paid for. I did not enjoy paying for parking. The room was what I would expect for the price... Very nice and clean
