Mystic

If you know where Mystic, Connecticut is located, it's likely due to one of two things: you're a product of the 1980s and can recite the best lines from the movie Mystic Pizza, or you're a sailing enthusiast. Mystic is one of New England's most iconic seaport locations, home to tall ships and some of the area's oldest working boats. Mystic is also one of New England's quintessential towns, lined with one-of-a-kind boutiques, quaint restaurants, and bearing a central location (less than an hour from Newport and Watch Hill, Rhode Island). And if you thought pizza and ships were all that Mystic had to offer, think again: this is a truly romantic tiny town.
