Unexpected Coastal Cruise: Exploring the Thames River's Hidden Gems

A scenic cruise along the Thames River in Niantic, Connecticut, offered breathtaking views of the local landmarks, including the historic Seaside Sanatorium and the iconic New London Ledge Lighthouse. Despite initial plans to venture further out to sea, rough waters forced a change of course, leading to an unexpected but equally captivating journey up the river. "The water was a bit rough," said Kailey, the travel blogger who documented the trip, "but we still had an awesome time exploring the Thames River and its sights." The cruise provided a unique perspective on Connecticut's rich maritime history and natural beauty.
