Saybrook Point Inn, lighthouse & marina.
Saybrook Point Inn Marina 2 Bridge St, Old Saybrook, CT 06475 Located at the juncture of the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound is one of Connecticut’s finest Inn’s. I’ve personally stayed here and was very pleased. My photographs are from the beautiful marina/lighthouse located to the rear of the Inn. I took these pictures in early April so the boats haven’t docked for the season as of yet. The Inn is also the location for numerous weddings. Couples frequently use the marina as a backdrop for their formal photographs.
