The Norwalk Seaport Association has owned, restored and maintained Sheffield Island Lighthouse since 1986 and is the official U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Friends group for the Norwalk Islands.

Visitors can board the Seaport Association's 45-foot C.J. Toth catamaran for a cruise to Sheffield Island, take a tour of the Lighthouse, observe wildlife in their natural habitat in the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, hunt for shells along the beach, dine on a delicious clambake dinner, play on the lawns around the Lighthouse, and simply have a good time. You will step directly from the boat into the past. Sheffield Island is located in the outer reaches of Norwalk Harbor providing unique views of the city and the surrounding waterways. The Lighthouse tower (currently closed for repairs) provides stunning views of Long Island Sound and, on a clear day, of the New York City skyline. However, one can see magnificent views through our new antique telescope available to everyone!

Sheffield Island is a rocky outcrop with rolling terrain and the docking facilities do not meet ADA regulations. Every effort has been made to minimize non-compliance. The gangway leading from the dock to the Island is wide enough to accommodate a standard wheelchair. The gangway incline (steepness) is determined by the height of the tide; at low tide it is steeper than at high tide. Due to liability concerns, the Sheffield Island staff is disallowed to assist with lifting or pushing a wheelchair or stroller. It will be important for the physically challenged to travel with a companion able to assist them.

Keeping in mind that you are traveling on a boat, and the Island is a rocky outcrop with rolling terrain, we encourage visitors to wear comfortable, rubber-bottom shoes for safety.
