Essex Island Marina
4.6 (113 reviews)
Essex Island Marina sits on a charming thirteen-acre island just a short ferry ride from the historic downtown of Essex, Connecticut, right on the Lower Connecticut River. You'll find yourself uniquely positioned between the river and the town, with the Connecticut River Museum a quick hop away once you dock. It's a rare setup where the marina itself feels like a destination rather than just a stopover.
