Living in Rhode Island means having easy access to some beautiful beaches, something we should never take for granted. Middletown’s Sachuest Beach is especially delightful, offering a peaceful escape from downtown Newport. And in this case, the journey is almost as much fun as the destination.
Sachuest Beach is a south-facing, mile-long, family-friendly beach in Middletown.
jlh20152015 / TripAdvisor To the locals, it’s mostly known as Second Beach.
To reach the beach, park on Sachuest Point Road near Second Beach Family Campground and find a long, sandy path.
jlh20152015 / TripAdvisor It’s a short jaunt, but it’s quite pleasant.
The scenery at Second Beach is a bit more rugged than the neighboring Easton’s Beach.

This is a popular beach in the summertime, when Rhode Islanders flock to the shoreline for beach fun.
Momma / TripAdvisor The beach is equipped with restrooms, showers, a changing area, a concessions stand, and grills for everyone’s enjoyment.
You’ll probably see surfers and paddle boarders on any given day here (when the weather is warm).
qofdnz / TripAdvisor Surfboard rentals and lessons are available during the peak season.
This beach has perfect waves, a flat, sandy shoreline, and views for days.
pierosMilano / TripAdvisor It’s really no wonder the locals love it.
Rhode Island is called the Ocean State, and there are certainly no shortage of beaches here… but this one really stands out.
cambridge232 / TripAdvisor There’s nothing like a sunset stroll at Sachuest Beach.
Is this one of your favorite beaches? Do you refer to it as Sachuest Beach, or will this always be Second Beach to you? Whatever its name may be, Rhode Islanders are certainly lucky to have it.
