About
Enders Island is an 11-acre island located within the town of Stonington, just off the coast of the Mystic section of the town, in the U.S. state of Connecticut. The island located in the Fisher's Island Sound at the base of the Mystic River and is connected to neighboring Mason's Island by a causeway. Mason's Island is connected to the mainland by another causeway. The Catholic Society of Saint Edmund operate a retreat center and art school. Enders Island is also home to a bi-annual residency offered by Fairfield University to Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Program students.
Per the Society's web site, "Enders Island is a place for reflection and prayer, it is not a 'Public Park'". The island offers surrounding views of the Atlantic, walking paths with flower gardens and an open chapel and gift store.
