Welcome to the Groton Long Point Yacht Club

The Groton Long Point Yacht Club was formed in 1934, becoming the successor to the Groton Long Point Club which had existed almost from "the beginning". Its purpose was to broaden the range of the original Club to include, primarily, sailing activities. The Groton Long Point Yacht Club has, for over sixty years, been the heartbeat of GLP. Without it, and its unique character, GLP would be just another pretty peninsula in Long Island Sound.
