Dropping anchor in Westbrook
In a lot of ways, Westbrook is the quintessential New England town. Colonial Revival houses and several marinas line the waterfront, while restaurants serve up delicious seafood. The town even hosts an annual gathering of fife and drum corps from across the country and around the world. Getting around is never a problem, as the community is linked to neighboring seaside towns and larger metropolitan areas like New York City, Boston and New Haven via US Route 1, Interstate 95 and robust public transit. Still, some residents are content to get around the old-fashioned way: by sailing the Long Island Sound. And with a plethora of houses available by the beach and in quiet, forested subdivisions, this small town has a lot to offer.
Setting sail on outdoor adventures
In Westbrook, several marinas line the banks of the Patchogue and Menunketesuck Rivers, letting boaters enjoy the Long Island Sound and easily access islands and other seaport towns. “Westbrook has one of the biggest marinas in New England: Pilots Point,” says Suzanne Helchowski, an administrative assistant at the town clerk’s office from neighboring Essex. “And we have 2,700 boat slips in our marinas.” In the warmer months, residents can also relax on the community’s many sandy beaches, such as West, Middle and Stannard. The Salt Meadow Unit of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge is very popular during the spring and fall, when birdwatchers can see migratory species such as great egrets, ospreys and glossy ibises.
Westbrook's Stannard Beach is a private beach that is second to none.
The Stewart B. McKinney wildlife refuge is a great spot to go birding.

Homes by the beach and in the woods
Coveted beachfront homes, be they 21st century builds or remodeled historical homes from the 1880s, rarely sell for under $1 million, save for one-bedrooms under 800 square feet. Residents of downtown Westbrook can easily walk to beaches and marinas within minutes. Homes range from two-bedroom ranches selling for under $200,000 to $1.4 million Colonial Revival houses sitting on the banks of the Patchogue River. Farther inland, north of Interstate 95, subdivisions are much less dense and separated by acres of forests. Tree-covered lots guarantee privacy, though sidewalks are uncommon. The prices of the three- to five-bedroom Colonial Revival, raised-ranch and ranch-style homes here are variable, though many start at around $400,000 and cap at around $900,000.

Celebrating Westbrook the Yankee way
The annual Fireman’s Carnival is a multi-day event where locals can play carnival games, enjoy fair food like hot dogs and fried Oreos and ride on a Model T. All proceeds go to help the fire department. In Yankee spirit, national and international fife and drum corps perform on the fourth weekend in August, an event called the Westbrook Muster.
A taste of New England
Westbrook may not have a traditional commercial downtown, but US Route 1 is lined with local restaurants. Boaters love stopping by Bill’s Seafood, a casual venue with live music most evenings, especially during the summers. Though the menu changes seasonally, residents can expect to see and smell clam chowder, scallops and lobster among other New England seafood delicacies. Residents don’t have to travel far for shopping. “We don’t have a grocery store, but other towns are close enough,” Helchowski says. “Go 5 minutes in either direction of Route 1, and there’s a grocery store.” In neighboring Clinton, a Stop & Shop and ShopRite can be found.
Westbrook's Bill's Seafood also has a full bar.
Westbrook's very own Bill's Seafood is the friendly place to get lunch or dinner.

Inclusive education in the Westbrook School District
The community is served by Westbrook Public Schools. Students can start their education at Daisy Ingraham School, a public pre-K and elementary school located just off US Route 1. The school has received a B-plus from Niche. Westbrook Middle and High School are right next to each other and have received an A-minus and B respectively. In 2023, Westbrook Middle School was recently recognized as a United Champion School by Special Olympics North America for fostering all-inclusive physical education programs and was subsequently named an ESPN Honor Roll School.
Students at Daisy Ingraham Elementary have access to many extracurricular activities.
Westbrook Middle School promotes personal development in its students.

Getting around by car, rail and bus
Many residents travel by car down US Route 1 to neighboring communities or down Interstate 95 to visit farther destinations. The Shore Line East commuter rail stops by the Westbrook Station. Though the line primarily takes passengers from New Haven to New London, transfers are available to bigger cities like Boston. River Valley Transit also services the town, bussing riders down Route 1 and to Westbrook Outlets.
