45 Ocean Captions For Your Pics On The Water That’ll Make Waves On Insta

Summer is here, you’ve scoped out your beach-of-the-summer, and you’re ready to make waves. What better way to celebrate the return of the best sea-son of the year than by heading back to the beach? If you live near the shore, beach days are a must. On a hot day, it’s so refreshing to jump into the cold water, float under the sun, and play fishy for the day. If the tide is high and the waves are in full swing, take advantage by practicing your surfing skills — or, if you’re not one for water sports, take your pool float to the sea and lounge atop the swinging water near the shore. In between surfing, basking in the sunshine, and walking up and down the coastline on the ultimate hunt for shells, there are so many ‘Grammable moments you wouldn’t want to miss out on by not being prepared. Don’t forget to pack SPF, healthy snacks, and these ocean captions for all your wavey Instagram photo-ops.

You need the perfect ocean quotes for all the unforgettable moments out on the water. Snap an adorable selfie with your partner as the sun sets over the water or capture a candid snap from your afternoon surfing some gnarly waves. Take a cozy picture of your picnic setup on your beach blanket, or snap a photo of a boat that’s cruising through the waves. You can also put your camera on burst mode to capture every frame of you fun dancing in the water, kicking at the waves, or convert a live photo to an epic Boomerang to post to your story or throw in a sandy “photo dump.” Having some ocean captions and ocean quotes at the ready will make sharing your beach memories a total breeze.
