2 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
Talfor Boat Basin and Boardwalk
Small marina and waterfront boardwalk on Reynolds Channel offering close-up boat details, reflective water, piers and open views toward Long Island Sound. Photographers get strong sunrise/sunset color, calm reflections at low wind, and local life (fishing, birds). Boardwalk is wheelchair-accessible; street parking and a small lot nearby (check posted signs). Weekday mornings are quiet; watch tides and seasonal light — winters offer stark minimal scenes, summers bring activity.
Memorial Park
Small waterfront park on Long Island Sound with a war memorial, benches, shoreline and pier views. Ideal for sunrise and golden-hour waterscapes, intimate memorial portraits, and seasonal foliage/reflections. Easy street parking, wheelchair-accessible paths, no entry fee — weekdays and early mornings avoid crowds.
