30 Clever Ocean Captions For Insta, When You're Only Reachable On Your Shellphone

There isn't a better time to relax on your millennial pink beach towel than right now. Between collecting seashells, chilling on an ice cream floaty, and swimming in the waves, you're in pure bliss every second you're soaking up the sun at the shore. And while the perfect season to be at the beach won't last forever, your Instagram posts splashing around or surfing sure can. You'll want to pair those amazing photos with clever ocean captions for Instagram to keep the witty, good vibes flowing long after this beloved season.

There are likely more than a handful of memories you can link back to the beach and the ocean. Maybe a wave unexpectedly (and hilariously) interrupted your sister's selfie, or maybe you met some of your best friends at a beach bonfire back in high school. Sure, you can thank the ocean for cooling you off when the temps are beyond sizzling, but you also have to give it kudos for giving you some of the best memories.

You don't need me to remind you how simple, yet satisfying it is to take a dip in the ocean after laying out in the sun. You also don't need any help chasing the water as it pulls back from the shoreline.
