Imagine walking barefoot on soft sand with the person you love as waves crash at your feet. This movie-perfect setting is as close to you as the nearest ocean, bay or Great Lake.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Souvenirs
  • Picnic Basket
  • Red Or White Wine
  • Bubble Baths
  • Bed-and-breakfast
  • Concert Tickets
  • Cameras
  • Cameras
  1. Step 1

    Contact any coastal area's Chamber of Commerce for a list of upcoming events, such as festivals, concerts or art exhibits. Plan your trip accordingly.

  2. Step 2

    Pack your camera. Even a disposable camera should provide you with stunning shots of the seaside scenery and each other.

  3. Step 3

    Plan to spend the night at a romantic bed and breakfast, where you'll hear the sounds of the seashore when you wake up. Go online for information about the best rates for B&Bs throughout the United States; be certain to make a reservation.

  4. Step 4

    Stroll along the shoreline after breakfast and look for seashells to bring home as souvenirs.

  5. Step 5

    Consider an afternoon picnic on the beach, if the weather is suitable.

  6. Step 6

    Set aside time for shopping that will involve more than just buying a souvenir T-shirt. Look for an item that will always remind you of the sea and your day together.

Tips & Warnings
  • Expect to have a great time eating delicious chowders and other warming comfort foods. In all but the hottest areas of the United States, beach areas can become chilly by evening.
  • If you live in a wintry area, go to the shore anyway on a sunny day and bring along old boots and a heavy jacket. Just think of all the ways you can warm up later.

on 11/22/2005 My boyfriend took me down the shore. We walked the boardwalk until late at night. We took salt shakers & went for a walk on the beach. He filled them up with sand and sealed them shut. We both have them by our beds so it's the last thing we see at night.
