Geographically permitting, a day at the beach makes for an amazing date. The best thing about going to the beach is that it’s low-key and promotes conversation, and it can be done as a first date or a fiftieth.

All you really need to bring is a towel, some sunscreen, maybe a Frisbee or football, and if you want to kick things up a notch- a picnic lunch. Enjoy the sun, get a tan, have a sandcastle building competition, draw things in the sand, horseplay in the waves, and really get to know your date.

The beach is perfect for flirting and fun, and every beach date I’ve ever had has led to the girl and I hanging out later in the day, too. Whether this means grabbing dinner or going to a movie is up to you, but there’s something about the beach that makes you want the date to never end.

So get out there and let us know how your day at the beach goes!
