Your Respite is Here Now Make it Your Own! Grace Island US The most incredible view from every direction. The extremely rare pink granite used to build the Brooklyn Bridge and the base of the Statue of Liberty was quarried out of Branford. The exquisite image of the blue water punctuated with the pink granite accent is a picture right out of this world and one I wish everyone gets a chance to see at least once in a lifetime, whether on our island or a neighboring one.
