Bailey's Beach is a mellow Rhode Island beach break tucked along the Aquidneck Island coastline near Newport, facing ENE toward the open Atlantic. The spot picks up south and southeast swells that wrap into the bay, producing slow, rolling waves well-suited for beginners and longboarders looking for a relaxed session. Its sheltered orientation and sandy bottom make it a forgiving option when larger exposed spots along the Rhode Island coast are too powerful.
