Enders Island is a privately owned retreat situated on the picturesque coastline of Mystic, Connecticut. Accessible by a small causeway, the island spans 11 acres and is renowned for its tranquil ambiance and stunning views of Long Island Sound. Although it is not designated as a national or state park, the island's gardens, historic chapel, and art studios draw visitors seeking personal renewal and artistic inspiration. Historically, it has been a place for reflection, serving as a center for recovery programs and spiritual retreats. While the island is not open for activities like hiking or camping, it provides educational workshops in art and faith-based programs. Its serene surroundings and facilities allow guests to meditate, pray, and create amidst well-kept gardens and ocean vistas.
