The town and marinas of Mystic, Connecticut are situated at the heart of a culturally rich region that extends from the Connecticut River Valley to Rhode Island and from the headwaters of the Thames River to Long Island Sound. This area offers the serenity of nature, the discovery of history, the delights of good food and drink, unique and diverse shopping, and interesting places and activities for all ages

Settled in the early to mid-1600's, Mystic and the other towns and communities on the Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island shore started as vital shipping and whaling centers. Many residents today are descendants of the early seafaring families, as well as the Pequot, Mohegan and Niantic nations that first occupied this land. During the era of the great clippers, Mystic was known for building some of the fastest and most famous of these tall ships. Today you can revisit this rich heritage at the Mystic Seaport and the many other seafaring museums in the area. Life in Mystic still reflects its deep maritime roots; fishing fleets embark from nearby Stonington and ferries make daily trips to Block Island, Fisher's Island, Martha's Vineyard and Long Island. And an abundance of public and private marinas give residents and visitors ample opportunities to enjoy three seasons of water sports and great fishing

A peaceful place with so much to do

There's always something happening in this quiet yet dynamic area. Year-round attractions like the Mystic Aquarium and the Seaport are world-class institutions that showcase America's seagoing history and the wonders of life below the ocean's surface. The Aquarium is one of the nation's foremost institutions for the study and preservation of whales, and is the home base of Dr. Robert Ballard, the oceanographer who explored the Titanic and many of the other historic vessels lost in these seas. Right outside the door from Randall's Wharf, the village of Mystic features the country's oldest bascule drawbridge, more than 15 restaurants reflecting a wide variety of national and international cuisines, unique clothing and gift stores, plus two ice cream shops and two coffee bars. Olde Mistick Village, with over 60 shops and restaurants, is a favorite with residents and visitors; a world apart from ordinary malls, it features one-of-a-kind and handmade items from local and international sources.

Cider mills to wineries, walking tours to steam trains and riverboats, the quiet of the Connecticut College Arboretum to the excitement and entertainment of the world's two largest casinos... there's something for everyone...and all within ten miles of Randall's Wharf.
