Historically a leading seaport of the area, the story of the town's nautical connection is told at the Mystic Seaport, the world's largest maritime museum, which has preserved both a number of sailing ships (most notably the whaler Charles W. Morgan) and the seaport buildings ashore. The town is located on the Mystic River, which flows into Long Island Sound, providing access to the sea. The Mystic River Bascule Bridge crosses the river in the center of town.

A major New England tourist destination, the town is also home to the Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration, notable for its research department, dedication to marinelife rehabilitation and not captivity, and its popular beluga whales. A tourist area with gift shops and eating establishments lines Main Street on either side of the bascule bridge over the Mystic River.

The 1988 film Mystic Pizza is set at a restaurant of the same name in Mystic, which is still open and is popular with tourists.

Mystic Aquarium's hands-on, hands-in exhibit is really making a splash. Kids and grown-ups alike can literally get a feel for gentle, mysterious cownose rays as they gracefully glide just below the water's surface - and within easy reach of your fingertips.
