100+ Beach Instagram Captions
I just got back from an island vacation with my girlfriends and you best believe pretty much all the photos on my memory card are in the sand or in the ocean, rocking salt water hair and living my best life (and eating like, WAY too much pineapple.)

The only BS I need is Beach & Sandals!
Tropic like it’s hot
I washed up like this
Feeling Fintastic
I can sea clearly now
Fishing you a happy day
Don’t get tide down
Sorry, I am octopied
Avoid pier pressure
If there’s a will, there’s a wave
You really mermaid my day.
The ocean made me salty
Lost at sea? I’m not shore
All I need is a good dose of vitamin sea
I am at the sea now, I beach you to it
One-touch of nature makes the whale world kin
Resting beach face
I washed up like this
This mermaid needs mer-wine
99 problems but a beach ain’t one!
For shore
Me and the beach, we’ve got a sun-derstanding

Beach Quotes For Instagram Captions
When a pun or a short caption doesn’t capture your beach time well enough, go for good quotes about the beach! This will get people tapping that “read more” line and trigger the algorithm that users like your content, which means more engagement and reach!

Short Beach Captions
Sometimes some short & cute beach captions are the way to go. Less to type out so you can get back to beach life faster!
Stay wild, ocean child
Need Vitamin Sea
Stay salty, my friends
Shell yeah
Salty hair, don’ care
Seas the Day
Beach, please
Happiness comes in waves
Oh ship!
Shell we dance?
Live a life of porpoise
Salty but sweet
Don’t krill my vibe
Aloha beaches
The best kind of therapy is beach therapy
Red, white, and a whole lot of blue
Find me under the palm trees.
A pineapple a day keeps the doctor away
Mermaid kisses and starfish wishes
Beach Captions For Couples
You had me at aloha
If you need us, call on the shellphone
High tide or low tide, I’ll stay by your side
I love you more than there are grains of sand on the beach, fish in the sea, and waves in the ocean.
Just you, me, and the sea
I am the pearl to your oyster
Oh, baby I love your wave, everyday
Beach happy with you
Salt life, salt wife!
A little sun, a little you
Shell-abrating good times with my boo
Missing The Beach Instagram Captions
And of course, the ones for your Throw Back Thursday posts! Try one of these missing the beach captions when you’re lusting for more travel.
The tans have faded but the memories last forever
The beach made me happier than a seagull with a french fry
I whale always love you (looking at you, beach vacation!)
Home is where to ocean meets the shore
I wonder if the beach misses me
