So without further ado, here is my list of the best country beach songs of all time!
1. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem by Kenny Chesney
Ever wanted to just skip work and head to the beach? Kenny Chesney has and wrote this 2003 song about doing just that. “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem” is a country hit we can all relate to and is featured on the album No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems.

4. Beachin’ by Jake Owens
Jake Owens brings a more modern sound to country music with his 2013 album Days of Gold. The best song on the album, in my opinion, has to be “Beachin.” A perfect lazy summer day song, it describes the singer’s days of drinking on the beach with his friends and, of course, falling in love.
You, too, will fall in love with Jake Owens the instant he starts singing. Add “Beachin” to your summer playlist, and let this song add fun to your beach vacation.
5. Some Beach by Blake Shelton
The Voice judge and coach Blake Shelton is a country music legend and has been wowing us with his amazing talents for more than a decade. His older music, however, is where his incredible voice gained him thousands of fans, with songs like “Some Beach” paving the singer’s way to stardom.
Released in 2004, “Some Beach” was featured on Shelton’s album Blake Shelton’s Barn and Grill and has that great summer vibe that will soothe your soul. Singing about a laid-back life living near the beach, Shelton’s voice carries the song beautifully, making it the perfect song on our best country beach songs list.
6. Six-Pack Summer by Phil Vassar
Phil Vassar’s 2000 release of “Six-Pack Summer” had fans abuzz as they all scrambled to get their hands on a copy of this country hit. Singing about life in the tropics, the song has a laid-back, relaxed feel only made better by Vassar’s unmistakable voice.
Featured on the self-titled album Phil Vassar, the song is a great mix of island style with a country flair. This is a must for your beach country songs playlist.
7. A Buncha Girls by Frankie Ballard
I will, shamefully, be the first one to admit that I had never heard of Frankie Ballard before today, and now I can safely say I am a fan for life! With his smooth country twang, Ballard gives an excellent vocal performance on “A Buncha Girls.”
