100+ Beach Quotes that Will Lure you to the Sea Shores (2024)

Almost all of my friends and readers know how much I love the beach life. So much so that I have written over 100 posts just about beaches, island life, and offbeat/ scenic beaches around the world. However, I never really shared cool beach quotes with my readers before so I decided to collate this mega list of quotes and captions for beach lovers.

I wrote a similar post about Vitamin Sea quotes last month which was very well received so I simply HAD to share my favorite beach quotes and captions as well.

As I honey pick the best quotes, I am sitting close to Arambol beach in Goa – one of my favorite beach destinations.

Its hard not to be inspired when you are by a serene beach to well write more about sun, sand and sea.

I abide by this quote when traveling to beach destinations across the world “Don’t worry, beach happy.” Perhaps one of my favorite happy beach quotes.

Basically, beach is pretty much like therapy for me.

As soon as I am close to the calming shores and hear the sound of the waves, it has an INSTANT relaxing effect on me.

Then some beach destinations like Arambol, bring our my long-neglected, spiritual side as well.

So its a win-win situation. Feeling content, spiritual, free and happy – that’s how beaches make me feel.

I am sure they have a similar effect on all beach bums.

My travels have been focused around visiting spectacular beaches. I have ventured as far off as the Mexican Caribbean in search of pristine white sand stretches.

I have enjoyed nearer shores to India as well like the Pink beach in Labuan Bajo or the stunning Cirali beach in Antalya, Turkey.

Plus I also traveled to the Caribbean looking for Starfish on the beach.

So many beach adventures across over a decade of travels, have made me a bigger beach bum than the jungle kid I always envisioned myself to be. I realized you can find both jungles and ocean at one destination and these are my ultimate travel goals now.
