The state of Connecticut is located along the Long Island Sound. It is 5,018 square miles and has a population of over 3 million. Popular tourist attractions are the restored whaling village, Mystic Seaport and Dinosaur State Park. Connecticut averages one to two earthquakes annually, according to the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. Although many tourists travel during the summer, be aware that hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30, so a springtime visit might be best.
