In the mid-19th century, some of the fastest clipper ships were built in Mystic. Today, the town, located midway along the northern shore of the Long Island Sound, has preserved its maritime past. Mystic Seaport is the state's most popular museum, and the downtown area has a well-curated collection of boutiques and galleries. Perched near the Rhode Island state line and within easy driving distance of both New York and Boston, Mystic is the perfect coastal getaway for those looking to get in touch with their nautical side.
