The Beach Playlist
The Beach is a branding used by several radio stations in the United States, typically featuring adult contemporary, classic hits, or soft rock formats. These stations often target coastal or vacation-oriented audiences, with music programming designed to evoke a relaxed and nostalgic atmosphere. Examples include WBEA ("101.7 The Beach") in Long Island, New York, which focuses on Top 40/CHR, and WBHQ ("92.7 The Beach") in Florida, which plays classic hits. The branding is commonly associated with markets that emphasize a laid-back, beach-themed lifestyle. Specific programming and formats vary depending on the station and location.
