CT or RI Beaches?

From Mass. and looking for a quick overnight trip for July 25-26 (1 nt.), in RI or CT. Not familiar with RI or CT beaches and would like recommendations for a good place to go that has some night life too, or something close by. Need hotel/motel recommendations! Newport is out of the question, as the only rooms left are $300/nt. or have a 2-nt. minimum. Does Mystic have a good beach?

Mystic doesn't have a good beach. People who stay near there go to Misquamicut, in RI just over teh boarder. Nice beaches and reasonable hotels, near Mystic and the casino.

Thanks for the quick reply Loki! Can you recommend a hotel near Mis?

Sorry, I don't have a recommendation. I usually stay at Foxwoods while freinds stay down at Misquamicut, I don't remember where they usually stay. If I come up with something, I'll post...

5 years ago we stayed at the Atlantic House in Narragansett. It wasn't bad. Oceanfront. Fairly nice rooms. We liked Narragansett very much.

In Misquamicut, we spent a night at the Breezeway Resort. It's nothing fancy but very pleasant and a few blocks from the beach. Unfortuantely it was cold and rainy but the beach looked good from what we could tell.

Thanks for the suggestions! We decided on the Point 1 Resort at Misquamicut for $155/nt. (the 2nd time I called they waived the "2-nt. minimum"). I guess I lucked out. Just hoping it's a decent place as there are no pix on their website. Thanks again all!

Back from the trip and thought I would finish the thread for future posters reference. The Point 1 Resort was not great, but waking distance to beach. Paddy's Beach Restaurant was totally overpriced and food was average, though it was busy because it was literally on the beach ($100 for dinner). Misquamicut beach had good surf. We decided to go to Newport and look around rather than spend the day @ the beach. Thanks to all that responded!
