There's nothing more enjoyable than an afternoon beside the sea. Round up the troops, throw together a picnic and enjoy the fresh air at Second Beach.

When you've finished at this stretch of coastline in Middletown, why not make your way to The Breakers, Fort Adams State Park, and Naval War College Museum? They're not too far from Second Beach and also a favorite with many tourists.

Staff and valet were very helpful and polite. Rooms were dirty, no soap in shower, no ice in vending machine. Lots of homeless (as unfortunate as it is) sleeping/urinating outside the main entry door
