Beach Music has been a major part of many of our lives. The Beach Music Lifestyle has been embraced by a lot our Surf listeners. Over the years, a lot of memories have been made in the clubs and beaches of the Carolinas. Of course, beach music reaches outside of North Carolina and South Carolina, but there is a reason people call it “Carolina Beach Music”. We have been kicking this list of Beach Music Memories around a few days and decided to drop it on the site as our Question of the Day. We hope this list takes you back to some great times in your beach music life. So many more items could be added, but we decided to end this one as it appears below.
How Many Points do you get?
Go down the list and see how many you might have done or experienced. Give yourself a point for each item (only count each item once ). We would love to hear how many points you have, especially if it is a really high number.
