We are very fortunate to have such wonder water views in our town, so join us at Saybrook Point to take advantage of them. We will meet at Fort Saybrook Park and walk 1.5 miles to the start of Fenwood Beach where we will take in some views of Long Island and then head back to the Point. We will walk across the Causeway with views of South Cove and the CT River and beautiful Fenwick Golf Course. This walk is 3 miles in total. Please wear appropriate attire and bring some water and snacks.
