Misery Islands offer coastal views, rolling rocky terrain, diverse wildlife habitats, and interesting ruins that recall the Islands' past as an exclusive resort and summer colony. A system of trails provides access to most parts of Great Misery Island, including spectacular overlooks, stony beaches, and grassy fields. Little Misery Island is accessible from Great Misery Island by wading across a narrow, shallow channel at very low tide. On the beach of Little Misery can be seen the remains of the steamship, The City of Rockland, wrecked off the coast of Maine and scuttled here many years ago.
The Misery Island Syndicate bought the Islands in They built the Misery Island Club, which featured a pier, a club house, a saltwater swimming pool, guest cottages, a tennis court, and a nine-hole golf course. Tournaments and regattas attracted Boston and North Shore socialites, but the club fell on hard times a year after opening.
Both islands are identified by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage BioMap as core habitat for herring and black-backed gulls which once nested on the island.
In addition, prominently located within the Atlantic Flyway, Misery Islands likely provide important habitat for migrating birds, especially tree swallows which fuel their migration with the abundant bayberries that grow there.
