Outdoor Date Ideas

0

Date nights don’t have to be the standard dinner-and-a-movie. Those are great, but when you have time off from the kids, sometimes it’s good to mix it up with a fun outdoor date!

Here are some ideas for date nights – or date days – that will get you and your sweetie off the couch and outside in our beautiful community!

Outdoor Day Date Idea: Geocaching

This outdoor activity has been around since 2000, but it really caught on with the rise of smart phones. What is it? Basically, a treasure hunt! You download the Geocaching app, create an account and enter in information about your location. Then you  will see where treasures, also known as caches, are located, along with coordinates and clues to help you find them. Caches can be large or small, and they can contain anything: toys, letters, trinkets, etc. There will be a sheet to write your name if you wish, and you can see who else has discovered the cache before you. Once you find it, leave it the way you found it for the next person.

What’s cool is caches can be located anywhere in your town, or in the world! Discover new and fun places you might have never explored before, while walking, hiking, driving and reconnecting on this fun outdoor date.

Day or Night Date Idea: Brewery Tour

Corpus Christi’s craft beer scene continues to grow. Nueces Brewing Co., Lazy Beach Brewing and Lorelei Brewing Company all feature outdoor space to enjoy a variety of locally brewed beers. There are also food trucks, games and live music depending on which venue you choose. Check out one or all while experience this laid back date, but remember to drive safe  or, better yet, call an Uber! 🙂

Outdoor Date Night Idea: Stargazing

Browsing around online, the consensus seems to be the best place to stargaze is just before the entrance at Padre Island National Seashore. For this super relaxing outdoor date, head out on a dark night, bring a telescope if you have one, or just lay on the hood of your car or truck and enjoy. You can contact the Corpus Christi Astronomical Society through Facebook and see if they have any tips as well!

Anytime Date Idea: Harbor Tour

Even if you’ve lived in Corpus Christi a long time, this is a whole new way to view the city. Take a tour of Corpus Christi Bay through Harrison’s Landing. You can see the back side of the U.S.S. Lexington, possibly see dolphins and enjoy a gorgeous sunset. With the wind in your hair, good music, the sea air and your sweetheart by your side, this boat ride is hard to beat. After the tour, you’re just a few steps from outdoor dining in the marina. 

Getting outside for date night – or date day – is a wonderful way to explore, relax and spend quality time with your partner.
