Mystic Aquarium
Great for kids!
GLP is private so it's best to bike around, visit the jetty to watch a sunset. Main beach is the closest resemblance to a "big sandy beach" that you will find around here.

Mystic was a significant CT seaport with more than 600 ships built over 135 years starting in 1784 that now boasts fine dining, shops, ice cream, and of course the famous drawbridge. Pro tip: from our home, park BEFORE the draw bridge to avoid traffic getting across. Banks and lots have paid parking, and side streets offer free parking.

Here in Mystic it seems you are either team Oyster Club or Team S&P. We wound up being Team OC (mainly cuz they provide a decent HH) but we still wanted to nod to our friends at S&P for having great food, oysters, outdoor dining, and the view upstairs from the indoor bar is pretty great. Reservations can be called in only. (860) 536-2674

This place is a great summer spot to grab a crisp glass of Prosecco or rose and their charcuterie board. There are usually open tables or a spot at the bar. They sometimes have live music too.
