Saybrook Lighthouse Books opened in 2017 in the heart of Old Saybrook's charming village center, quickly becoming a beloved gathering place for the shoreline community. The store's airy, light-filled interior was designed to evoke the feeling of a seaside cottage, with whitewashed shelves, nautical accents, and comfortable reading chairs positioned near the large front windows. The fiction selection balances crowd-pleasing beach reads with critically acclaimed literary novels, ensuring there is something for every mood and season. A dedicated children's area hosts weekly storytimes that have become a fixture for young families in the area, while the nature and birding section reflects the rich estuary ecosystem at the Connecticut River's mouth. The store's cafe serves iced teas, lemonades, and light fare in summer, switching to hot cider and soups when autumn arrives, making it a year-round destination for readers along the Connecticut shoreline.
