Nothing beats a summer romance. Even some of the best fictional romances of all-time have taken place during the summer. Whether you’ve just started dating someone or you’re looking to reignite some passion, here are 10 cute summer date ideas to try this season.
1. Go to a Drive-in Movie
Pull a Danny and Sandy from Grease this summer and head to the nearest drive-in movie theater! There’s nothing more romantic than rolling down the top on the convertible or bringing some lawn chairs and watching a movie under the stars! Most drive-ins offer a double-feature, so you can see two movies for a lower cost.
2. Take a Picnic to the Park
Pack up a lunch and head to the local park with your significant other! This budget-friendly date idea is perfect for getting to know the person you’re dating a little better. You might pack a frisbee to play with after lunch or take a stroll around the park.
3. Go Horseback Riding
Saddle up, buttercup! Horseback riding can be an adventurous date idea to try out this summer — especially if neither of you have ever tried it before.
4. Head to a Local Amusement Park
If you’re looking for a fun way to feel like teens again, the local amusement park can be a great way to start! Whether you spin around on a Tilt-a-Whirl, get your adrenaline going on a roller coaster, or get splashed on a water ride, this can make a great summer date idea!
5. Go Out for Mini Golf and Ice Cream
Bring out your inner child with some mini golf this summer! Once you’re done head to the local ice cream stand. This can be a cute first date idea for the summer season!
6. Check Out the Local Carnival
When’s the last time you went to a carnival? This can be another fun summer date idea that will make you feel like a teenager all over again. Play some games, eat some cotton candy or funnel cake, and fall head over heels for each other like Allie and Noah in The Notebook on the Ferris wheel!
7. Go to the Local Farmer’s Market
Hitting up the local farmer’s market can be a fun summer date idea! Afterwards, you can cook a recipe together using the fresh produce you purchased together!
8. Hit Up the Beach
What’s summer without a trip to the beach? If you live close enough to take a day trip or an overnight trip to a local beach, make a night or weekend out of it! Walk the beach, play in the waves, and check out the boardwalk. If you don’t live near a beach, consider heading to a local lake instead.
9. Go Ziplining
If you and your significant other are both thrill seekers, ziplining could be the perfect adventurous summer date idea for you! Zip through the trees at a local adventure course.
10. Go Hiking
Hiking is another budget-friendly summer date idea for the adventurous couple! This idea gives you a good chance to get physical with one another while still getting to know one another, making it a good choice for couples who have just started dating.
These summer date ideas can be perfect for any couple! Feel free to share your favorite warm weather date ideas in the comments!
