Cosmopolitan's 31 Best Beach Movies to Watch for Instant Vacay Vibes

"Beach movies are always fun, even if they're a little spooky or melancholy. Actors want their #TodaysOffice to be the waves and shore as much we do.
Just looking at images of white sand and turquoise water flicker across your screen is instantly relaxing, like a cold glass of H2O on a hot day. There's a reason all those pre-set laptop screensavers are pics of empty beaches. Show me a video of palm trees swaying in the wind and watch as my heart rate lowers. If you're wondering what makes a beach movie a beach movie, allow me to break it down:
1) It was filmed at the beach
2) It's about the beach
3) It features some kind of beach vacation scene
4) All the above
Now that that's settled, let's get to the list so you can start sipping the frozen Piña Colada that's sweating on your coffee table. (No? Get yourself a blender!) These beach movies are so delightful, you'll literally feel the sand between your toes and the warm sun on your skin through the screen." - cosmopolitan.com
