Salty Brine State Beach, State beach in Galilee, Rhode Island.
The one-acre beach stretches for 100 yards along the Atlantic Ocean, featuring views of passing fishing boats and the Block Island ferry.
The location changed its name from Galilee State Beach in 1990 to honor Walter Leslie Brian, a Rhode Island radio personality known as Salty Brine.
The beach serves as a center for maritime activities where visitors can observe commercial fishing vessels, pleasure boats, and ferries throughout the day.
The facility includes a 2,800-square-foot pavilion, solar-powered showers, restrooms, and lifeguard services from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM during summer season.
In 2015, the beach gained national attention when an underground explosion, caused by hydrogen from corroded copper cables, launched a visitor into the air.
