Middletown, Rhode Island is a relaxed coastal town on Aquidneck Island with sandy beaches (Sachuest/Second Beach), scenic trails and the Norman Bird Sanctuary, plus a mellow downtown of cafés and local dining—perfect for travel therapists who want a pleasant, livable base for multi-week stays.
You’re also a short drive from Newport’s historic harbor, sailing and vibrant restaurant/nightlife scene, and within easy reach of Providence’s arts, universities and airport (with Boston accessible for big-city options), so there’s plenty to do when you want variety.
