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.

Beautiful upscale property. Parking was fairly easy once you find the correct street. Staff was not real friendly and helpful on getting you to that street. Be aware of a strict dress code and bring appropriate clothing or you will not be able to use the facilities at the hotel
