Misery Island, located in Salem, Massachusetts, spans 87 acres and offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue. Once known as a resort destination in the early 20th century, the island features diverse habitats including upland forests, meadows, and rugged shorelines, making it a perfect retreat for outdoor enthusiasts.

The island's name derives from a 1620s ordeal faced by shipbuilder Captain Robert Moulton, but today, the experience is marked by scenic hiking trails and remnants of its past. Accessible by boat, canoe, or kayak, Misery Island continues to attract visitors drawn to its fascinating history and stunning views of Salem Sound and the North Shore.
