bedtime listening

I fall asleep to this most nights now... lulled by the sound of ocean waves. lovely.

Started Off Nice, But...

I've been in Cape Cod a lot of times and by the water at night. Yes there are crickets, but not this bad. I think this setup was in a grassy area and not closer to the beach. More like near houses. More waves and the background bugs would have been nice. The chirping can keep me up.

Favorite One

Beautiful natural sounds that are recorded at just the right level to help lull you to sleep. This a favorite of mine for background noise.

Yes - crickets on the beach exist!

I love this recording. Relaxes me every time. I’m also amused by the reviews stating “I have never heard crickets on the beach” because they are obviously not from the UK and perhaps forget with their limited world view that the Atlantic Ocean isn’t just a body of water in the US so I give 3 stars for story as this info might help less informed listeners.

Very relaxing

The sounds are subtle, calm and relaxing and was the prefect length. Definitely will use again.
