Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

Unless you take the tour and see these islands with their homes you would not believe living on an island in the Long Island Sound was possible. Great day trip. Bring the kids - not babies

We planned a weekend away at Foxwoods Casino (in memory of my mother-in-law who was a huge fan) and I wanted to do some exploring around the area (it's the thing I do when I visit any new place - I research what there is to see and do in the area and surprise my husband with an adventure). When I read online it was a Catholic retreat, I wasn't sure if we could just pop in to explore so I emailed them to inquire. I received the nicest email in return telling me all are welcomed to visit and they encouraged it, but did ask us to be respectful of people who were there on retreat and some in silence. The weather did not cooperate unfortunately, but if it was this beautiful on a cloudy November day, I can only imagine how amazing it must be on a perfect summer day. The drive there was easy and pretty. There is a cool one lane bridge you need to cross to get to the island. Once on the grounds it is so peaceful and quiet. You can walk around and explore all the little nooks and crannies. The views are amazing and there are little spots all around for people to sit and reflect, all the while the ocean smell is all around you, the wonderful breeze, etc. Beautiful stone work, an amazing stone church, etc. If you find yourself in the vicinity of Stonington, CT you must make the short trek to Enders Island. You will not be disappointed you did.
