Looking for some fun beach quotes?
In order to save you time, I’ve scoured the internet in search of the best beach quotes to inspire you. Growing up in the Philippines, I was always surrounded by many picture-perfect islands and beaches.
My idea of heaven is lying on a hammock by an empty beach, looking out at the turquoise blue ocean with a coconut in hand.
Because of that, every time I feel stressed or feel like I’m in need of a getaway, the beach is the first place I think of. In this article, I will share with you my favorite beach quotes along with a few of the most beautiful beaches that I have had the opportunity to travel to.

Beach Quotes
Let’s kick this part of the article off by sharing one of my favorite places on earth, Boracay Island. I actually spend a good 4 years living in this beautiful island, working as a school teacher. Everyday, I would gather around with some friends, and watch the most spectacular sunsets.
The entire island is only 7km long and is home to so many island folk (both local and expats). Although it is getting to be quite touristy, I do have so many incredible memories of this place which is why it deserves to go on this list.
With that in mind, lets’s get to a few of my top picks for the best beach quotes.
