Five Beachy Albums
Ah, the beach! The sun, the sand, the surf, and of course, the music. If you're heading to the beach this summer and looking for some tunes to accompany your fun in the sun, look no further than these five albums. They're perfect for lounging on the sand, sipping a cold drink, and enjoying the ocean breeze.
The Beach Boys - "Endless Summer"
What better album to kick off our list than one from the ultimate beach band? (also, kind of a ‘DUH’). "Endless Summer" is a compilation album that includes all of The Beach Boys' biggest hits, and leaves out their weirder stuff. It’s the perfect beach playlist from "Surfin' USA" to "California Girls".
Jimmy Buffett - "Songs You Know By Heart"
When it comes to beach music, no one does it quite like Jimmy Buffett. "Songs You Know By Heart" is a another greatest hits collection that includes all of his most popular tunes, like "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise". Just make sure you've got a cold drink and a beach chair handy before you down that quarter pounder.
Bob Marley and the Wailers - "Legend"
With its laid-back reggae rhythms and positive vibes, "Legend" is the perfect album to listen to while soaking up the sun. Whether you're dancing in the sand or just chilling out with a good book, this album is sure to put you in a beachy state of mind. We promise this is the last compilation on this list.
Jack Johnson - "In Between Dreams"
Jack Johnson's mellow acoustic sound is tailor-made for lazy beach days. "In Between Dreams" is one of his most popular albums, and it's easy to see why. Its breezy melodies and relaxed vibe are the perfect accompaniment to a day spent lounging on the shore.
The Sloppy Boys - “Lifelong Vacation”
Ok, so maybe this one isn't exactly a "beach" album, but hear us out. The Sloppy Boys loud humor and catchy wails are perfect for getting you in the party mood. And let's face it, sometimes you just need a little bit of silliness to make a day at the beach even more fun. Find your nearest bar, suck down a Tom Collins and rock like you came here to.
So there you have it, folks - five albums to listen to at the beach. Whether you're a fan of classic rock, reggae, or just good old-fashioned humor, there's something on this list for everyone. So grab your sunscreen, pack your cooler, and get ready for a day of fun in the sun!
