WBEA (101.7 The Beach) is a Top 40 Mainstream radio station licenced to Southold, New York and serving the east end of Long Island plus southern Connecticut. The station is owned by Long Island Radio Broadcasting and broadcasts on 101.7 MHz with 6 kilowatts ERP from a tower west of Hampton Bays.
Unlike many stations on Long Island's East End, WBEA's signal is one of the less impeded as there is only one adjacent channel (WQCD in New York City) to hamper its coverage to the north and west. The station's signal to the north also gives it a rimshot status into the New Haven, Connecticut area where it has shown in the ratings in the past.
