30+ Fun, Hot, and Exciting Date Ideas for Summer

 

1. A Day at a Vineyard

 

 

A vineyard offers guests an unforgettable experience. Travel to the most beautiful places with your special one.
 
Guests can take a tour of the estate, visit the gift shop, taste wine at a tasting room, picnic at a restaurant overlooking the vineyard, or dine on gourmet food and wine in a private room. Some options include vineyards in Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, Paso Robles, or anywhere else that have tours and events.

 

2. Watch Sunrise Together

 

There are few things more beautiful than watching the sunrise over the horizon. It's a sight that's hard to describe in words, so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. This is a great way to start your day with your significant other.

3. Go to an Outdoor Concert

 

Do you know those concerts where everyone dances all over the place while people are singing and having a good time listening to some great music? That's exactly what we're talking about here.
 
We can't recommend them enough if you're looking for a great time with your spouse. Pick a concert venue that's near you (not too far to travel) and go check it out. There are some free ones that people don't even know about.

4. Rent a Tandem Bike

 

If you are looking for a fun time to do as a pair, why not rent a tandem bike? This is a beautiful activity that allows you and your spouse to have some quality time together, all while riding in comfort.
 
All you need to do is pick up a tandem bicycle from a nearby rental company, and take it to the park or beach where you want to appreciate your ride.
 
This way you will be having a good time together while doing it in style! Not to mention it is good for your health.
 
And sure, if a tandem bike sounds too difficult for you, just have a bike for each of you.

5. Wear Sexy Lingerie and Watch Erotic Films

 

Sexy lingerie, sensual music, and you both together is a recipe for a hot evening!
 
There is something incredibly arousing about wearing sexy lingerie. You can see the effect it has on your lover.
 
Aroused and excited people tend to get carried away and do things they wouldn't normally do. They don't take life as seriously, they let their hair down, they flirt, they get frisky, they make jokes, and they talk dirty.
 
It's a little bit like teasing your lover. One of the biggest ways that men can get aroused and excited is by watching erotic films together with their partners.

6. Have a Tasty Picnic in your Local Park or on a Beach

 

A picnic is a great way to celebrate a hot day. The weather is nice and there are plenty of shady spots to sit down and relax with your loved one. You can take advantage of all of the local sights, smell the fresh air, and appreciate the company of someone special.
 
This simple plan is the ultimate way to have fun while connecting with your significant other out in nature.

7. Beach Trip & Bikini

 

This could be one of those spontaneous dates where you want to create the vibe that you're just on vacation. The key here is to get away and be together.
 
Pick a local beach that offers simple fun activities, including surfing, swimming, and more.
 
This is the best opportunity for you and your partner to feel young again (or be young), because who doesn't want to run around in the sand with their bare feet and have a cocktail in the sun?
 
Don't forget a few towels and plenty of sunscreen, and bring a book, a camera, and maybe a few snacks too.

 

8. Enjoy a Ferry Ride

 

There are many wonderful reasons to spend some time with your significant other, but perhaps the best reason to do so is that you can take them on an intimate, memorable ferry ride.
 
Evening on the water can include a relaxing boat ride, dinner in the dining room, a stroll along the deck, cocktails, and a stunning view.
 
The combination of all the activities and a lovely atmosphere makes the ultimate recipe for a passionate night together.

9. Find the Best Botanic Garden in Your Area

 

So this is a fun and easy date if you're looking for something interesting to do together these hot days. Not only is it a great adventure because it gives you a chance to relax and unwind and be in nature, but it can also serve as an introduction to botanic gardens.
 
Plus, they often are free and provide many amenities for visitors to walk and explore, such as nearby art installations, outdoor pathways, picnic tables, and plenty of benches to sit on and have an intimate conversation

10. Surprise Your Partner With a Sexy Massage

 

While there are endless ways to surprise a partner, a sexy massage is one of the best. A little bit of pressure, a little bit of sensuality, and a lot of romance can make a night of passion truly memorable.

Not only is a massage intimate, but it’s also therapeutic and good for your health. A massage is a great way to relax, reduce stress, relieve headaches, ease back pain, and help a body recover from the day.

Bring your favorite natural massage oil and let your bodies do the talking.

These people are more likely to try out new things, try new foods, and even experiment with new ways of getting frisky in the bedroom. 

18. Watch Fireworks together

 

Have you ever noticed the beauty of fireworks against the sky on the 4th of July? It's always fun to go watch them with your spouse.

 

You don't need anything special for this summer date, just enjoy being together while sharing this special moment with each other.

A City Scavenger Hunt is a fun way to explore the city together and learn about new places. Start off by picking an area in your city that you want to visit, and then plan a scavenger hunt.
