I can’t lie to you — I don’t get people who are beach people. The heat gets to your head, the sand gets places you don’t want sand, and the sun doesn’t respect sun block’s boundaries. But I do have a soft spot for music that gets you into the mood for going to the beach. It might be a bit late in the year for legitimate trips, but use this playlist to hype you up for when it’s a bit warmer, or put on a jacket and get ready for some Best Coast.
