Very nice location, worth the travel to view the Point. On the grounds of the University of Conn. Parking is easy, and a very nice foot trail around the point.

I got to see my son's submarine pulling through headed to port after his six month deployment. Awesome views!

The Avery Point lighthouse is a nice walk through the UConn campus. There is a path with a number of commemorated bricks. The view is excellent. You can see the New London Harbor and Ledge lights from Avery Point, so it is kind of like a three for one. A worthwhile stop!
