Beachy Tunes

For your beach or summer wedding, here are some great songs that combine romantic sentiments with the relaxed, beachy feel and the upbeat spirit of summer. Of course there are many more out there, but these are some favorites. Also, many from this selection can be used during the ceremony or different portions of the reception, because of their love-related lyrics. (As opposed to, for example, Wipe Out.) Enjoy!
