Milford is a lively coastal town on the Long Island Sound with sandy beaches, a scenic boardwalk at Silver Sands State Park, a compact, walkable downtown of cafés, seafood spots and weekly markets, plus easy outdoor life (boating, bike trails, parks) that makes multi‑week stays feel comfortable and interesting rather than stuck indoors.
Bigger-city amenities are close by—Bridgeport and New Haven (Yale museums, theaters, major hospitals and dining) are a short drive or train ride, and New York City is within about 75 miles for weekend escapes.
