Beach Songs for Your Next Family Beach Day

There’s no better place to start this list than with Surf City by Jan & Dean. Released way back in 1963, it has that classic (and catchy) sixties pop vibe that’s both nostalgic and joyful.

Surf City – Jan & Dean

You’ll find Belize resorts ranging from ultra-exclusive private islands to family-friendly beach resorts with kids’ clubs and water sports to keep all family members engaged.

While we’re talking about the Beach Boys, we might as well include Kokomo. This one has a much more tranquil vibe, but it’s no less catchy! Just one listen to the chorus (you’ll recognize it when you hear it) will have everyone up, singing along, and delighting in the joy

Good Vibrations – Beach Boys Despite hitting the charts in 1966, Good Vibrations never gets old. It’s truly one for the ages as far as beach songs go. Invoking enviable images of sunny days on the golden sands and those old VW campervans with surfboards on the roof, it’s easy to listen to, feet-tappingly fun, and full of, well…good vibrations.
