Sachuest Beach, known locally as 2nd Beach, is a scenic Rhode Island gem tucked between Purgatory Chasm and the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge in Middletown. Facing WSW into Narragansett Bay's outer waters, the beach picks up south and southeast swells that wrap around Aquidneck Island, producing punchy, fast-breaking beach break waves best enjoyed in the 2-6 foot range. Fall is prime time here when Atlantic hurricane swells combine with offshore northwest winds to deliver some of the best surf the Ocean State has to offer.
