Second Beach, Middletown, RI. Second Beach in Middletown is known for its soft sand, steady surf, and wide views of Sachuest Bay. It has a relaxed feel, but the cool part is what sits right next to it — Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge. After spending time by the water, you can walk a short distance and explore trails where you might spot owls, deer, and plenty of coastal birds. It’s a spot that mixes beach time with a bit of nature right around the corner. #SecondBeach #MiddletownRI #Sac

87 years ago, on September 21, 1938, Rhode Island faced one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in its history. Known as the Great Hurricane, this storm struck with little warning, unleashing 120-mile-per-hour winds, a storm surge that swallowed entire coastlines, and devastation that reshaped Narragansett, Westerly, Newport, and beyond. Hundreds of lives were lost, and the Ocean State was forever marked by the force of nature’s wrath. 🌊 #great1938hurricane #rhodeislandhistory #newenglan
