Summer is here, my friends, and that means a whole bunch of new date options just opened up for you and your special someone! Hooray! So make the most out of your summer (only 14 weeks) and create a summer-date bucket list. Then, make a plan to check one off each week.

Here are seven date ideas to get your summer-date bucket list in full swing:

Beach day

It’s finally hot enough to dip your toes, your waist AND your shoulders in the ocean. A day of nothing but sand and the sound of waves crashing is one of the best ways to spend a hot summer day. All your worries fade away when you open that car door and smell the salt in the air. Before you head out with your sweetie in tow, prepare a fun beach cocktail or mocktail. My personal favorite is a Pina Colada!
