Five Mile Point Lighthouse Tours

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.

Five Mile Point Lighthouse is a worthwhile place to begin discovering East Shore. This longstanding beacon comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other attractions like Yale University, Yale Bowl, and East Rock Park to get a complete picture of what's on offer in the area.

It would’ve been better that you had posted that the pool was closed since 2020. My Wife wasn’t too happy about that.

It was walking distance to Thompson’s point where the music festival I went to see was being held. The staff from the front desk to cleaning staff, were all very friendly. More hooks and/or towel bars in the bathroom. Other than the shelf/rack that all the towels were stored on that is IN THE SHOWER (i.e. not practical to keep your towels on while you’re staying for a few days) there was 1 hook with 2 prongs on the door. It was a pain enough for me, and I stayed in the room by myself. I can’t imagine how aggravating it would be for a couple or a family.
