Clinton, Connecticut is a town situated on the Long Island Sound in southern CT. Clinton is conveniently located along I-95 and is a great halfway point between the city of New Haven and the getaways of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun resort casinos.
Fishing is a popular pastime in Clinton, CT, as every summer holds the annual Bluefish festival. This attraction brings many fishermen to the area each year. In fact, Clinton is known as the bluefish capital of the world! Clinton has its own beaches, but many choose to take the short drive up I-95 to Hammonasset State Park and the popular public beach there.
Clinton is known throughout the state of Connecticut for its shopping, as Clinton is home to a large collection of factory outlet stores. You'll find brand name stores including Harry & David, the Gap, and many others, but with low factory outlet prices. Many Connecticut residents will make a day out of driving to the Clinton Crossing outlet stores to do holiday shopping, or just to spend a nice day shopping in the unique "outdoor mall" environment.
Other than the large outlet mall, Clinton has a smaller-town feel to it. You'll find much of the charm of a shoreline New England town, but the convenience of being along I-95 makes Clinton a perfect place to buy a home. In fact, famous children's author Dr. Seuss spent his summers in Clinton.
