Barley Beach, Sandy beach in Curry County, Oregon

Barley Beach is a sandy stretch of coastline in Oregon that runs between the Rogue River on its south side and Otter Point to the north. The shoreline features open water views and a wide sandy band that shifts in appearance with the changing tides.

The beach received its official name through the Geographic Names Information System, though older records sometimes referred to it as Bailey Beach. This naming reflects the long history of coastal use in the area.

The beach is also known as Bailey Beach, a name that suggests the GNIS listing may be misspelled. It lies just north of Gold Beach, whose residents use the sand for walking and fishing. The Old Coast Road runs along its eastern edge.

The Old Coast Road along the eastern side provides several access points for visitors wanting to explore this stretch of coast. Tides have a major effect on how much sand is available to walk on, so checking tide tables before your visit helps with planning.

The beach is officially listed as Barley Beach in the Geographic Names Information System, but it is also called Bailey Beach, which may mean the official name is misspelled. The sand runs more than 4.5 kilometres from the Rogue River to Otter Point.
