Now a peninsula extending into Long Island Sound, Lordship's distinct character is partly due to its limited access via only two roads, both part of Route 113. This modern geography, a result of man-made fill, contrasts with its past as an island originally defined by salt marshes to the north and the Sound to the south. Today, Sikorsky Memorial Airport (Fairfield County's only airport, located at Lordship's north end) and Short Beach to the northeast form its landward boundaries with the rest of Stratford. The historic Stratford Point Light also graces this unique coastal neighborhood.
Life in Lordship offers a coveted coastal lifestyle, where the ambiance of a perpetual vacation permeates daily living.
Residents enjoy access to several inviting beaches, including the town's public Long Beach and Short Beach, both accessible with a Stratford beach parking pass, and the more exclusive Russian Beach.
The 30-acre Short Beach Waterfront Park is a local gem, boasting one of the county's finest sandy stretches, alongside a picturesque beachfront golf course and various sports fields, ensuring ample opportunities for recreation and relaxation by the sea.
Beyond the immediate allure of sand and surf, the Lordship lifestyle is enriched by a variety of community and natural attractions. Miles of shoreline pathways invite cyclists to explore the coast, and the popular Lordship Seawall offers a 1.6-mile scenic trail perfect for leisurely strolls, complete with stunning beachfront vistas, nearby eateries, and occasional open-air markets.
For nature enthusiasts, Lordship is a true paradise. The expansive 421-acre Great Meadows wildlife preserve, a globally important bird area, serves as a vital nesting and feeding habitat for over 270 bird species, observable from the public portion of Long Beach. Additionally, the 28-acre wildlife preserve at Stratford Point, near Short Beach, offers accessible public trails for further exploration of the area's natural beauty.
