The chorus, 'C'est l'amour à la plage, Et mes yeux dans tes yeux, Baisers et coquillages, Entre toi et l'eau bleue,' encapsulates the idyllic and almost dreamlike quality of this seaside romance.

Niagara's musical style, characterized by catchy melodies and a blend of pop and rock elements, enhances the song's nostalgic and carefree vibe, making 'L'amour à la plage' a timeless anthem for summer love.
