Bailey's Beach
Edit SpotAbout
I really enjoy it because I am a 2 minute walk awayu from the beach. It has great waves when it has swell. The only thing I dont like about Bailey's is that it is inconsistent and there is days where almost all the waves closeout. But when ther's good swell and the waves aren't closing out it has great waves. It produces a barrel easily too. The barrel is rideable at about waist to shoulder high; 3-5 ft.
Atmosphere:
There is almost no localism. Me and a few other kids are the only locals. Bailey's holds can hold up to double overhead waves which makes it in my opinion the best beach break on Aquideneck Island.
Additional Info:
The surf is pretty easy to get used to. Parking your car is hard on a crowed day. There is no public parking because the beach club owns half the beach, the other half is the public side; reject beach. You have to find a side road off of Coggeshall or Bellevue to park your car.
