Barefoot by the ocean as the waves roll in
Hear ocean sounds from a wide sandy beach on a breezy summer afternoon, free in your browser for as long as you stay. The sun is bright, clouds drift across the sky, and the sand is warm under your feet.
Wave after wave rolls in, breaks with a soft roar, and washes back over the sand. Close to your toes, the water fizzes over wet pebbles and drains away. A sea breeze tugs at your hair. Then a big wave rises and crashes, and the foam rushes so far up the beach that you jump back, laughing.
High above, seabirds cry as they glide over the open water. Farther along the shore, a wave breaks on the rocks. Soon the rhythm takes over, in and out, again and again. Your breathing finds the same slow pace, and the rest of the day can wait.
If you want ocean sounds for sleep, press Gentle waves, and the crashes and bird cries fall away. For a wild day at the shore, pick Big surf.
What you hear on this sandy beach
- Ocean waves on the beach: Waves roll onto the wide sandy beach, each one breaking with a soft roar and washing back over the sand. Plays all the time.
- Water washing over the sand: Small waves wash up close over wet sand and pebbles, fizzing as the water spreads out and drains back. Plays all the time.
- Sea breeze: A steady breeze blows in off the sea and brushes past you. Plays all the time.

- Wave on the rocks: Now and then a wave slaps against rocks a little way along the shore. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Seabirds calling: A few seabirds call far out over the water, short high cries carried on the wind. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Seabird cries: One seabird gives a few loud calls as it flies past high above the beach, then fades away. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
