When summer hits the atmosphere, the usual date getaways include water. But what if you don’t fancy the ocean as much? What if you recently went to a beach trip and you want to celebrate summer in a different way? We’ve rounded up seven exciting ways to spend your summer:

1: Take a Boat Ride

Taking a boat ride is letting the ocean stay close to you without immersing yourself to it. Fancy renting a yacht or a canoe all to yourselves for an adventure? Enjoy the cool breeze, the salt water on your skin, the conversation with your loved one - what could be better than that?

#2: Visit the Farm

You can add this one up to your photo scrapbook. Visiting farms is not for educational field trips. You can also check it out in summer during harvest time and find some lovely flowers and fruits. Some farms allow the visitors to feed the small animals - under a certain fee.

#3: Go On a Food Trail

Specialty food trails are scattered throughout a certain city or region. These trails offer artisanal goods, such as wines, cheeses, breads, and more. Some even offer fruit stands and dark beer. If you’re both foodies, take your date on some food trail hopping across the city.

#4: Catch a Sunrise

Many are swooning over the beauty of the sunset. But the sunrise is equally (and possibly more) exquisite. The best part is as you wait for the sun to rise, you can pick up some breakfast and listen to each others’ stories. Afterwards, take an awesome picture together with the gorgeous sun rise.

#5: Go Camping

Want something more daring? Go camping! Hike, ride a horse, and do other rustic activities. You can set up a tent and make a bonfire. But if you’re not the outdoor camp couple type, you can try a fancy version of camping. There are numerous hotel and apartment camp sites all over the country.

#6: Plan a Barbecue Night Out

On summer nights, it’s always great to just chill in your backyard. Why not invite your date over to grill some meat, kebabs, and veggies? Enjoy this over some ice cold beer or chilled wine. You’ll find yourself having a great time just talking with each other over good barbecue food.

#7: Try a New Hobby

For those who can’t get enough of water - explore new hobbies, such as water sports. If neither of you have surfed or tried waterski, this would be the perfect opportunity to try it. Not only you’re going to cross an item off your bucket list but you’re also experiencing this with someone you love.

These summer date ideas are perfect for all types of couples. When planning your date, go through the list together and mark those that interest both of you. Always remember to keep yourselves hydrated, use sunblock, and don’t forget to have fun this summer!
