Summer Life
Summer in Groton Long Point runs roughly from mid-June to early-September. The actual living population of the town is dramatically larger during the summer months as nearly every property is either occupied by its owners or rented to summer tenants. The Groton Long Point Yacht Club, a cross between a traditional yacht club and a summer camp, runs many classes for children. These include swimming, sailing, sports and tennis lessons. The Yacht Club also organizes evening events such as dances, movies and scavenger hunts for children; events are also organized for adults and families, including concerts (at nearby Esker Point), dances, and fireworks.
Just as the number of people in GLP increases dramatically during the summer months compared to the winter months, the number of people around during summer weekends increases dramatically compared to summer weekdays.
