Norman Bird Sanctuary/Third beach-583 Third Beach Road, Middletown Rhode Island
The Norman Bird Sanctuary is a beautiful piece of land that provides a safe haven for endangered species. It also is a great place to hike, especially to "hanging rock", which is a rock that overlooks the reservoir and beaches. The Norman Bird Sanctuary also hosts a series of "Bird Camps" for children and an annual Harvest Fair for the local community. I love the Harvest Fair, especially the kettle corn. This 23.87 acres of land protected by the ALT also includes a cattail marsh and a small tidal estuary. Third Beach is a public beach located across from the cattail marsh. It is a popular place to swim, sail, and relax. I love going to third beach because it is usually less crowded and is a very calm atmosphere.
