The Salty Babe is a women's casual beach lifestyle boutique. We're here to support and enrich an active, fun-loving lifestyle with effortless everyday items. When starting this store, I wanted a place to celebrate the independent woman; women with salt in their hair and style in their soul. Easy like Sunday morning.

I spent the first 15 years of my career as a sales rep in the Surf Industry and travelled all over the world surfing and exploring. I know what kind of gear and apparel inspires me and works for me, and I wanted to bring that laid-back and utilitarian style to Newport. From big city nights to beach-bleached weekends, a Salty Babe rides a creative wave inspired by the energy of the ocean and the freedom of adventure.

I ordered a handful of tees from them & I'm in love with them all! Good quality & the description of sizing is very accurate. Will shop here again!

Currently on military orders in Newport, with my girl wanting to see if i could pick her up something while i'm up here.
she loves the place, and because of that i had high expectations.
the Salty Babe did not disappoint. 👍

Excellent customer service and such a cute selection! I live in Salt Lake City, and we don’t have many good options for surf/swim boutiques. So happy I found this gem, I will be ordering clothes from here again!
