Mystic Island (also called Mystic Islands or Mystic) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[7] located within Little Egg Harbor Township, in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[8][9][10][11] As of the 2020 United States census, the CDP's population was 8,301.[12]

Mystic Island is a large, mostly waterfront development originally planned as a resort community that started in the early 1960s as a waterfront community with vacation bungalows. In the past few years, however, many of the original bungalows are slowly being replaced with much larger homes on pilings that are popular in nearby beach communities such as Long Beach Island.
