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™.

Great songs, beautiful beach, and Nutella…. now that’s a great combination!
I love getting new playlists! I only wish I had more time at the beach to enjoy music, I love Cheryl Crow!
I forgot all about that Christopher Cross song. I had that album when I was a girl. Every single song was just great!
I love “Fancy” – Iggy Azalea! hahah I also love Beachin’ by Jake Owen
Great list. I like “Really don’t care” the most!
What a great list! I like the Jennifer Lopez song. That would be on my play list for sure.
These are some great picks! And mmmm Nutella!
My kids listen to Problem by Ariana Grande all the time. Sometimes I catch myself humming along.
Sailing is a classic. I do love the First Love song by Jennifer Lopez too. It’s really catchy.
We’re country fans in our house, so our playlist is a little different. I love the sound Beachin.
