Sheffield Island Lighthouse, Norwalk: How to Visit and What to Do Nearby

Sheffield Island Lighthouse stands on a 3-acre island roughly 1 mile offshore from Norwalk harbor in Long Island Sound, Connecticut. The four-story stone keeper's house with integrated tower was built in 1868 from quarried Connecticut brownstone and operated as an active light until 1902. The island and lighthouse are maintained by the Norwalk Seaport Association, with round-trip ferry service from Hope Dock in South Norwalk running June through early September. Combined ferry and tour tickets typically run around $30 for adults, including access to the keeper's quarters and the island's walking trail. When in Norwalk it's worth considering not only but another main attraction like Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
