Vermont is filled with quiet spots where you can soak up the beauty of nature and enjoy a few moments to yourself, and this lovely beachside shrine in Isle La Motte one of the best. Here’s why you should visit this beautiful place and how to enjoy it to its fullest.
Head to Saint Anne’s Shrine in Isle La Motte for a few moments of peace and quiet. No matter your faith (or lack thereof), this stunning beach shrine in Vermont is a gorgeous place to relax and reflect.
Located on the shores of Lake Champlain, Saint Anne’s Shrine is a Roman Catholic shrine that makes full use of its gorgeous surroundings. The shrine and its shape are both open-air.
The reflection area of the shrine is truly lovely. It features a large statue and several stone benches where you can pause and admire the shrine or simply take a breath and meditate.
At this shrine, you’re never more than a few steps from the water. Visitors are welcome to spend time near the shore and feel the cool breeze flowing in off the lake. Settle into the sand with a picnic basket if you like!
Besides the reflection area and chapel, the shrine also offers a cafeteria, a grotto, and a gift shop. Regular masses are held at the chapel and the area is also available for weddings and other services.
Even if you’re not religious, you’ll love wandering around these beautiful grounds. Statues dot the landscaping and there’s always somewhere shady to relax.
