Second Beach / Sachuest Beach

This is one of the best beaches in RI. It is has a family feel to the place — not just a family friendly beach — but the staff feel like they’ve been working together for years and you’re in their home. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The food selection is bigger than most beaches.
The beach is clean and even at high tide there is plenty of space for everyone. The waves make this a small child friendly beach. The parking lot is huge so you don’t have to arrive at the crack of dawn even on the busy weekend. The only drawbacks: the weather can be fickle when the wind in blowing in off the water
But this is a solid beach to head even from the Boston area — ok never mind forget I said that stay away and save me my spot.

You can’t get better than this. It’s just as nice as Easton’s without the fuss.
I love going in the fall when the crazies have left and the parking lot is empty.

Great beach!
The beach itself is very clean.
There are on site surf lessons, del’s lemonade, food truck, and port-​a-​potties. Parking was $ 20 not sure if it was more bc it was Labor Day weekend.
I had a fantastic 2 days here. Even the red tide couldn’t bring down my mood. There is also some rocks to climb and even jump from.

Arrived on a late Sunday afternoon. It was partly cloudy and the red tide was in motion. The sand had a lot of shells, rocks and seaweed. My friends did enjoy paddle boarding which was offered by a vender with an open truck. The parking was free and it felt really secluded which was really nice.

Had a fantastic time here and enjoyed Second beach. Only charge here was the $ 10 weekday parking charge. As you drive over to this area of a Rhode Island there is Easton’s (1^st beach) Sachuest (2^nd) and 3^rd beach (don’t remember the name). Easton’s is very busy. We drove by here and decided to keep driving. Sachuest seemed less busy. We didn’t go to third but heard there was no restrooms there so we decided to stay here. Overall we loved this beach. At 9AM not many people. 11AM more and the peak was between 11−1PM. At 3pm the early people are leaving and by 4PM more leave. If you are heading back up to Providence 4PM is a bad time to leave as traffic seemed heavy. This was on a weekday. I imagine a weekend would be crazy cuckoo for traffic.
The restrooms at 2^nd beach were very clean. Also they had working showers to rinse off and it was a very clean beach, water was clean and lifeguards present. We came here for 2 days we enjoyed or so much. On both days I would walk down in search of shells with my daughter. We discovered a good pile that we brought back.
Water quality had some dry light reg algae but no smells. Waves on day one were nice 1 – 3 ft and second day was 1 – 2 ft. The water was said to be 71 °F on day one it felt warmer than this. Day two it felt almost 80 °F. Maybe because it was hotter near 90 °F out.
Sand quality was excellent. No dead fish and sand looked groomed in the morning. The city does a good job keeping these beaches clean. We also really appreciated the no smoking policy!
The food canteen had decent food options but we didn’t eat here. Not as much selection of food as Narragansett but enough selection to keep you going. Expect $ 10-​$ 14 per person not including drink.
Overall an awesome beach for the family and cheaper as you only have the parking charge. We will definitely come back here as we loved this place!

Nice powdery soft, fine, and clean sand. The watervis usually clean also. In my opinion, the best beach in Newport. Great for swimming, walking, sunbathing, relaxing and hanging out w friends, family. I also like bringing my dog after hours, he loves it!

One of my favorite beaches in RI — to walk, photograph, relax. Love coming here in the off season to try and catch some great shots. Beautiful views.

This is my favorite beach out of beach 1 – 3. Beach 1 has too much red algae, beach 3 is small and beach 2 is just right! lol
Beach 2 is beautiful, soft sand, and clean water. They have a little restaurant stand where they sell chicken fingers and fries!
Go to this beach, sunbath, swim, have fun with friends, and eat some fries. Its definitely a family friendly go to beach.

Im Rahmen unseres Besuches in Newport haben wir noch einen Ausflug zum Sachuest Beach unternommen, der auch Second Beach genannt wird. Nach Aussagen im Internet der beste Strand in der Newport Gegend.
Am Strand befindet sich ein großer kostenpflichtiger Parkplatz der unter der Woche 10, — $ und am Wochenende 20, — $ kostet. Dort befindet sich auch ein Strandhaus mit Toiletten, Duschmöglichkeiten und Umkleidekabinen.
Der Strand ist wirklich groß, gut gereinigt und machet einen gepflegten Eindruck. Der Sand ist sehr fein und ich habe fast keine Steine entdeckt; Muschelsammler werden dort allerdings nicht auf ihre Kosten kommen.
Im Wasser befinden sich rote Algen, die von Strandabschnitt zu Strandabschnitt in unterschiedlicher Intensität auftreten. Aufgrund der hohen Wellen und der sicherlich vorhandenen Strömungen sollte man mit dem Schwimmen vorsichtig sein.
Der Strand wird von Lifeguards überwacht, die ihren Job sehr ernst nehmen. Ich habe ca. 10 Stationen gezählt, die Hauptstation war auch noch mit einem Ruderboot ausgestattet. Der Strand war gut besucht und die meistgesehene Aktivität war überraschenderweise Fußball.
Am Strandhaus war auch noch ein Imbiss mit kleineren Gerichten und Getränken. Die Preise empfand ich als sehr hoch. Das mitgebrachte Essen sollte man vor den frechen Möwen schützen.
Insgesamt ein schöner Strand mit angenehmen Publikum.

Situation on Saturday (sunny):
Pros:
Not so crowded compared to Easton beach.
Restrooms are usable, not so great.
Nice white sand.
People surfing and enjoying small to medium waves.
Cliff nearby to click nice views.
Parking situation never gets bad (20) on weekend.
Secluded and people mind their own business.
Life guards at distant corners as well as at the max swimming distance allowed.
Cons:
Half of the beach was filled with red sand or rather some kind of spillage Which stinks very bad.
You cannot swim/​even sit nearby in half of the beach’s length due to this.
Some small brown sea weed is always floating to you while swimming but I don’t think that’s harmful.
Ocean beach in connecticut was far better than this beach in terms of activities.
