Once the first day of summer makes its glorious mark, we're all about letting those sunny vibes flow with absolutely no cares in the world. We welcome the upcoming warm months into our hearts with no hesitation, because summer is the season of endless possibilities. You can lounge by the pool, cook on the grill, and roast marshmallows by a campfire — the sky's the limit. If you’re thinking about summer travel, it’s the perfect time to book a plane ticket to a tropical location with clear blue water and lush rainforest to explore. No matter what, you can guarantee you’ll be hitting the beach as often as you possibly can. The perfect beach day is always full of fun and sentimental memories you’ll want to capture on camera, which means you’ll need plenty of sumer beach Instagram captions ready to go for the best sea-son of the year.

"Eat, beach, sleep, repeat" is the motto to abide by this summer, because how else would you roll? You and your summer, you just get one another. Now that school’s over and you’re out of office, it’s time to plan a fun-packed summer under the sun you’ll never want to forget. Before you head to the sand, remember to mix some yummy cocktails, pack snacks like chips and guac, smear on some SPF, and throw a beach read in your tote bag— plus this list of beach Instagram captions to fit your wavey photos.

Whatever the occasion, these beach captions will come in handy for any sandy bikini selfie, beach bonfire pic, an epic sandcastle shot, or plan-did photo of you splashing in the waves. Are you ready to tropic like it’s hot? Because you’re about to be happier than a seagull with a french fry now that you’re livin’ on salt time.
