Kidd Harbor

Drop anchor at Kidd Harbor, a sheltered spot tucked into High Island within the scenic Thimble Islands archipelago off Branford, Connecticut. The name alone sets the mood — legend has it Captain Kidd himself once haunted these waters, and the cluster of rocky, house-dotted islands around you makes it easy to believe. From here you can take in the quirky charm of the Thimbles, or hop a cruise boat out of nearby Stony Creek to explore the wider island group.
