There’s nothing quite like a summer beach party. Rounding up the troops to vacate to a sunny solace, kicking up sand and soaking up the sun. Whether you’re a baby boomer who appreciates the old classics, or a ’90s kid and can’t live with your Gaga, we assembled the best musical backdrop for a fun day at the beach. Below you’ll find great summer classics from the Beach Boys and Don Henley to new faves like Katy Perry and Jay-Z. To get the sound really blaring so your friends at the other end of the beach won’t miss out, check out this Grace Digital Aqua Sounder Floating Speaker at Target.  Have fun and don’t forget the SPF.
