Have you found yourself longing for the beach and all its salty goodness? The weather is starting to warm up, and you are probably yearning for a trip to beach. Right? Well, if you can’t get to the beach then you need to bring the beach to you. One way to do that is to create the perfect playlist for when you are missing the beach!

A great playlist sets the perfect vibe no matter the situation. Never underestimate the power of a good beat.

So, what sort of songs should you have on your playlist? First, consider the vibe of your dream Topsail vacation or beach day. Choose your music accordingly. When you listen to the songs, close your eyes and visualize what situation you would find yourself in while the song is playing. Are you partying? Are you resting? Does the song hype you up, make you want to cry, or leave you sleepy? Choose wisely!

You could always go with a ready-made beach playlist that is loaded in Spotify or your other favorite streaming service. Or you can custom make your own with this list of perfect beach mode songs below.
