BEST FOR SAILING LESSONS
With relatively little surf, decent wind, and numerous island anchorages, Long Island Sound is a great place to learn how to sail. Take a 10-hour introductory course (for $360) at the Sound Sailing Center next to Calf Pasture Beach in East Norwalk, Conn. You'll sail to Sheffield Island to see its historic lighthouse or over to Chimon Island, where there's a national wildlife refuge.
