The coast was your first clue

If the Long Island sound was land all the way to Long Island, there’s be more people. Given there’s water, there isn’t enough population to support the development. You need numbers to spur investment.

There's not much to it to begin with, just wondering where the attraction is, no waves, real beaches, its like living next to a bay.

I mean, you just elaborated why it's nice. Small beaches bring small crowds and lower wave activity means less erosion of what beaches to exist. It also lends itself to salt marshes and tidal rivers, which are great for those who like to watch wildlife.

People settled on the shoreline in CT (and continue buying summer homes here) because they DON'T want the Jersey shore.
