As warmer days inch closer, it’s never too early to start daydreaming of sunshine and salt air. Whether you’re gearing up for spring break or simply counting down to summer, I’ve curated a feel-good playlist designed to transport you straight to the beach. Saltwater Soul blends an eclectic mix of genres — from classic rock and country to reggae, indie rock, and a splash of pop — capturing the laid-back magic of a perfect beach day. With artists like Jimmy Buffett, Morgan Wallen, Harry Styles, Shania Twain, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and many more, this playlist is built for soaking up the sun, sipping something cold, and letting your mind drift to the shore. Summer can’t come soon enough — press play and let the waves roll in.
