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.

8.4/10 Very Good! (396 reviews)

Loved the room, the amenities, location, and especially the harbor view. I regret that I didn't call ahead to make sure the sofa-bed was made up. Biggest problem was trying to find where to check in!! Seriously, this was not easy. No signage anywhere, and the check-in area was so insignificant, again with no signage, that I didn't know I'd found it. There was nobody there!

9/10 Wonderful! (304 reviews)

The resort is excellent with great amenities. However I had a bad experience during check-in. I had booked a 3BR condo for 3 nights in May, all the way back in Jan 2025. Upon checking in, I was told that the 3BR condo is not available and I had to wait 15-20 mins and was provided a 2BR condo. I was also told that I would receive a refund for the differential amount. However after checkout I didn’t receive any refund after multiple follow ups. Thus folks beware about what you are booking and what reservation you will get.
