Salty Brine State Beach is a mellow Rhode Island beach break located in Galilee, along the shores of Block Island Sound, offering gentle rolling waves that are ideal for beginners and longboarders. Facing nearly due east, the spot picks up southeast and south swells funneling through the sound, producing soft, forgiving waves that break over a sandy bottom. Its proximity to the Point Judith fishing port gives it a charming local character, and fall hurricanes occasionally push in more powerful swells that excite more experienced Rhode Island surfers.
