Westport is best known in Connecticut for the Westport Country Playhouse, the professional theatre founded in 1931 that anchors the town’s long-established arts profile. The Saugatuck River runs through its centre before entering Long Island Sound, linking the commercial Saugatuck area with the waterfront setting that defines much of local life. Compo Beach is Westport’s principal public shorefront, while the town’s retail and dining core gathers around Main Street and the river. New York City is accessible by rail, yet Westport retains the scale of a coastal Connecticut community.
