Dock Side Live: Beach Radio

Dock Side Live Radio – where the music meets the water.
Part of the Marine Audio Network.

Dock Side Live is the live trop rock radio station for everyone who would rather be at the beach, on the boat or down at the dock. Press play and get trop rock, yacht rock, beach music and island songs streaming live 24/7 – the soundtrack of sun-soaked shores, marinas, sandbars and Key West sunsets.

TROP ROCK RADIO, LIVE
Dock Side Live plays the best of trop rock: the laid-back blend of rock, country and island rhythm that turns any afternoon into a vacation. Around it you'll hear beach music, yacht rock, classic rock, reggae, Americana and acoustic songs from independent artists and coastal songwriters. Real DJs, live shows and a playlist built for life on the water – not an algorithm.

Whether you're cruising the Gulf, anchored at a sandbar, sailing the Florida Keys, tied up at the marina or relaxing at the lake house, Dock Side Live is the boating music and beach radio station that keeps the getaway going. Turn it up on the pontoon, at the tiki bar, on the porch, around the campfire or at your favorite beach bar.

From Key West and the Florida Keys to the Gulf Coast, the Carolina beaches, the Chesapeake and the Great Lakes, Dock Side Live connects the trop rock community – listeners, marinas, musicians and boaters – on one live beach radio station. Wherever there's water, a dock and a cold drink, there's a place for Dock Side Live.

LISTEN EVERYWHERE
Dock Side Live streams over Wi-Fi or mobile data, so the beach is never more than a tap away – in the car, at the office, on the water or on the sand. Dock Side Live also broadcasts on Live365.

THE TROP ROCK COMMUNITY
Trop rock is more than a playlist – it's a community of musicians, fans, boaters and beach towns that meet at festivals, marina concerts and beach bars all year long. Dock Side Live follows that scene: new releases from trop rock artists, classic island favorites and live sets recorded where the music happens, right by the water.

WHY DOCK SIDE LIVE
We are a small, independent station run by people who love the water and the music that goes with it. Every song is picked to feel like a warm breeze, a sunset over the harbor and the sound of halyards tapping on a mast. No algorithm, no endless skipping – just good trop rock radio, live, all day and all night.
