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.

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.

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.

And the lack of retail or commercial outlets of any kind make it seem like a more secluded spot.
