King of the Beach is the sixteenth studio album by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released in October 2000. The singles released for the album were "All Summer Long" and "Who Do You Love". The album reached number 26 in the UK. There was also a Japanese version with "Mississippi" and "There’s Only You" included as tracks.
The album, being a loose sequel to earlier On the Beach, was inspired by Rea's trip to Turks and Caicos Islands. A remix of "All Summer Long" was a dance hit in Ibiza and other Mediterranean places.
