Earlier this year, I spent a relaxing afternoon exploring the Thimble Islands off the coast of Branford, Connecticut. Tucked away in Long Island Sound, these tiny islands are full of history, charm, and natural beauty.

The boat cruise was the perfect way to take it all in — calm waters, fresh sea breeze, and stories from the captain about the history of the islands.

If you’re looking for a peaceful New England adventure, the Thimble Islands cruise is an experience worth adding to your list. It’s the kind of trip that reminds you how much beauty and history are hidden in Connecticut’s shoreline.
