Although it may feel like the summer is speeding by, there are still a couple months of beachtime left. I hope you will get the chance to sink your toes into the sand at least once, before the warm days are gone. No trip to the beach is complete without some great tunes, so I am sharing my family’s beach playlist – our 10 favorite songs for the sand.
A trip to the beach certainly deserves a special playlist! Who gets to choose the playlist for your family vacations? Choosing songs for kids, parents and grandparents all to enjoy can be just a little tricky. For our most recent beach trip (we just got home last night), the playlist was heavily influenced by the teens in our family, but Grandma managed to sneak in a few of her favorites too. My personal playlist would look much different. It was quite an eclectic mix of music, but represented us all.
For a moment in time, the right song can take you away to somewhere else. It’s always a hoot when my granddaughter forgets she’s in public and starts singing out loud. Dancing is my weakness. I sometimes forget where I am and start dancing to the beat. Does that ever happen to you?

Can you guess which songs were my pick?
Our time on Isle of Palms beach the last few days was so much fun. We even took the dogs along for this mini beach vacation. The sunset walks on the beach were my favorite moments.
A tasty snack like Nutella on toast is a great idea, before heading out to the beach. Yup. We took Nutella on vacation with us. Life is good.
It’s the time of year when the sun, beach and music work together to make the perfect combination. I just love it!
What’s on your summer playlist?
Nutella® hazelnut spread is a happy start to every day! Pick up a jar of Nutella in the spreads aisle and enjoy it with whole wheat toast, waffles, pancakes, strawberries, bananas and many other foods. Nutella. Spread the Happy™.

These are perfect summer tunes. Personally, I love Fancy!
Great playlist! We love Soak up the Sun!! My daughter is truly addicted to nutella!
nutella, playlists and a beach…is there anything else? I’m guessing Rio might have been one of yours and Sheryl Crow’s.
that song Fancy makes our whole family dance. i love having music at the beach
We love changing up our music playlist during the summer. More beach and upbeat songs. We have also already gone through two containers of Nutella.
I haven’t heard of half the songs on this list, I feel so behind the times! However, I have heard of Nutella. It’s one of our favorite snacks in the summer on some fresh fruit!
I haven’t heard that Sheryl Crow song in so long. As soon as I finished reading this post, I pulled up YouTube and searched for it. I love that song and love the video even more. 🙂
I love “soak up the sun” – and the rest, I’m not sure if I’ve heard or not. My teen girls are fans of 5SOS. Maybe I should listen to those.
Fancy makes me dance – and so does Soak Up the Sun. Great choices there. I will add some to my ipod!
I’ll have to admit that Fancy is sort of catchy. However, I mostly listen to classic rock, lo-fi rock, 80s, classic R&B, and old country.
