Bayville

There is a certain presence about the Village of Bayville, a sense of place and timelessness, a feeling of freedom, independence and self-reliance that makes it a haven for residents and visitors alike. Perhaps it originates with the spirit of the Baymen…past and present.

This sense of presence has long permeated the area. The irresistible combination of beautiful, white sand beaches along the Long Island Sound, both public and private, and stunning, picture postcard sunsets make the Village of Bayville one of a kind.

Connected to the world at large and yet tucked away just enough to be secluded, Bayville is a community where privacy is both prized and practiced. It is often called a “community of lifers” because once people have spent time here, it seems they never want to leave, or if they do, some part of the Bayville experience stays with them forever.

If you are looking for recreational activities, few small villages offer as many as Bayville. Boating season (April 15 – November 15) sees a rise in activities. Sailing the Sound and beyond, or across to Connecticut, fishing, swimming, and sunning are all wonderful summer pursuits.

Seaside restaurants abound. In fact, the Village of Bayville is home to a wealth of restaurants to suit any taste and pocketbook. From grand cuisine to casual dining…from a third generation, family-owned pizzeria whose devotees insist make the best pizza west of Italy…to bistros with fresh seafood, there is a place for everyone. And Bayville has been a wedding location for decades with several famed seaside catering facilities known far and wide.

Things are happening in Bayville all year long…from ice skating in the Village rink to one of the biggest events, the Bayville Winter Festival which is sponsored by the Bayville Chamber of Commerce. With a tree lighting, live music and carolers, carriage rides, a spectacular holiday animated light show…and appearances by Santa, it’s a shouldn’t-be-missed event perfect for the whole family!
