The Anti-Mar-A-Lago? Bailey's Beach Club, RI

Bailey's Beach Club has been in the news, with Sheldon Whitehouse. Here's a little video showing some of it. Not very luxe. No marble or gold plated fixtures. Trump would hate it. And I suspect they would hate Trump.
You can see some pictures of the outside on the net. Basically two long wings of large cabanas flanking a two story wooden club house, probably featuring a restaurant. The pool and tennis courts must be in back. Pretty low key.
Now I wonder who those people are in the video?

Cartoonishly garish, and laughably 'exclusive' (like what idiots would actually want to go there?)

And Baileys is what you would call "old money". Newport rich is a whole different level of "country club rich".
