Things To Do

We don't live IN Norwich, so we're more familiar with the shoreline, so we wanted to highlight some of our favorite spots! But some places near Norwich we tagged too. Also the casinos have really good food and Foxwoods has a Tanger Outlet mall. Beaches: Ocean Beach Park in New London CT in near our house. Watch Hill Beach is near Taylor Swift's house Rhode Island. If you go to Soundview Beach in Old Lyme CT get there EARLY if you plan on parking, parking spaces fill up. Hiking: Mohegan Park has paved trails, Rocky Neck State Park in East Lyme CT has beaches and hiking. Wineries & Breweries I tagged all the good ones that are decently close. Some we haven't been to but they had good reviews :) Restaurants: I ONLY tagged good places
