You’ve been grinding all week, and the sunshine is telling you that it’s time to chill! So you’re packing up the car, your Beach Jams playlist is cued up (as the Dirty Heads are a must), snacks are at a fingertip’s reach, you’ve added a brand new beach tag to your beach chair that rests safely in your back seat, and you’re itching to hit the Shore.
If you want to make the sweet escape of summer even more sweet, then you better pack all the essentials — including a dank strain to match your saltiest, beachiest, suntaniest beach vibes! At Brotherly Bud, we know a thing or two about finding the perfect cannabis flower for the boardwalk, the beach read, the Mini Putt, or the all-day beach day with your toes in the sand and sun on ya buns!
Keep reading, every one of these strains hits harder than that first breath of bay air! We’d never gatekeep, so here is our unfiltered list of fave strains that will transform your trip “down the Shore” into a higher experience.
Bananaconda
Bananaconda is the kind of strain that creeps in smooth, then wraps you in a full-body buzz that’s perfect for sinking into a beach chair and letting the world fade out. With tropical banana notes and a little gassy bite on the backend, it pairs perfectly with salty air and crashing waves.
It’s made for laidback afternoons where you’ve got nowhere to be and nothing to do but vibe.
Animal Star Cookies
For a beach day that’s equal parts chill and lifted, you’ll want Animal Star Cookies. This balanced hybrid’s smooth, relaxing body high has just enough mental clarity to keep the convo flowing and your Wawa order organized.
Flavor-wise, it’s got a sweet, earthy cookie vibe with a little funk that hits nice under the sun.
Blue Runtz
Blue Runtz is a Shore essential if you’re looking to keep things fun, floaty, and just a little giggly. This sweet, saltwater-taffy-esque hybrid brings on a mellow euphoria that makes everything (music, snacks, the view, etc) hit just a little harder.
It’s great for lounging, people watching, or wandering the boardwalk with zero urgency.
Candy Fumes
Candy Fumes is that loud, sugary-smooth strain that turns an ordinary beach day into a full-blown vibe. Bursting with sweet, gassy terps and backed by a high that’s as buzzy as it is blissed-out, this one’s for when you wanna feel good without losing your edge.
If your plan includes bumpin’ music, catching rays, and keeping your energy light, bring Candy Fumes for the perfect kind of bubbly beach fun.
Cereal Milk
Cereal Milk brings those sun-drenched vibes with a sweet, creamy flavor that’s nostalgic, like the bottom of the cereal bowl on a Saturday morning. The high is smooth and balanced, giving you just enough mental lift to keep the good times rolling without going overboard.
Perfect for checking out the arcade or going for a spin on the merry-go-round for old times’ sake.
Cherry Ice
What would go better with a little Italian ice than Cherry Ice? It’s like a slushy for your soul that’s cool, refreshing, and hits with the right kick. This strain serves up a tart cherry flavor with a frosty finish, keeping those hot days cool. The high is clear, upbeat, and chill enough to keep you vibing without falling asleep in the sun.
Great for tossing a frisbee or crushing a round of spikeball.
Apes of Wrath
After a long day of sun, sand, and soaking it all in, Apes of Wrath is the heavy-hitter you want in your wind-down rotation. We’re talking full-body melt. Couch-lock levels of chill. And mental calm that shuts off the outside noise—like your shore house neighbor shooting off fireworks for no reason.
The flavor’s earthy with a sweet funk, and the high hits like gravity, pulling you into the ultimate relaxation.
