2025 Sheffield Island Lighthouse Clambake

Advance reservations are required. Clambakes do sell out! The U.S. Coast Guard sets a limit of 47 passengers on board. There are no exceptions to this rule and this includes all children.

Every summer, the Seaport Ferry in South Norwalk carries hundreds of hungry passengers to the historic 1868 Sheffield Island Lighthouse for the Norwalk Seaport Association's famous Tuesday Night Clambakes. A true New England dining experience, the evening allows participants to dine in the festive tented pavilion on the Lighthouse lawn, with tours of the Lighthouse included in the cost. Round-trip cruise and dinner have two price settings, $109 or $119 per person, depending on the entree.

Trip includes:

  • Round trip boat ride to Sheffield Island
  • Panoramic views of Long Island Sound
  • Tour of historic Sheffield Island Lighthouse
  • Dinner on the Island provided by Chef Clyde Ripka of Ripka's Beach Cafe
