No matter where you are, there are some songs that make you instantly feel like you’re on island time. There’s no need to wait until you’re sandy to throw on your flip flops, dab some sunscreen on your nose, and turn up your bluetooth speaker with some beach music.
I’ve compiled a list of some feel-good beach music for when you’re missing the beach from miles away. Here are over 60+ of our favorite songs about the beach to capture everything good about a day by the water and making you wish you had your toes in the sand.
Songs about Port Aransas
A day on the sand just isn’t complete without a jammin’ playlist that gives off good vibes from the early morning to late afternoon. The only thing missing is a some good beach music. Take a moment to break out the earphones and get ready to hit the beach (literally or virtually).

How to listen ad-free
While I’m an avid online shopper and music-listener, I didn’t fully realize until recently that my Amazon Prime membership includes Prime Music. Who knew? So I decided to take it for a test run.
I scrolled, searched and listened to so many songs that I finally had my beach day playlist set. I discovered that I can stream over 2 million songs while I’m sitting on the beach with my feet in the sand… let me say that again… 2 million songs… all while I’m listening literally anywhere (like in the car, walking the dog, or sitting on the beach).
PERFECT for the beach.
PERFECT for the road trip to the beach.
PERFECT for the long, sad trip home from the beach.
So get busy and make your own summertime playlist with some of the songs listed above. Or start streaming your favorite songs here.
