San Diego Date Idea #2:
The Beach Bonfire Date!
This date is for the Honey with very little money, but still you will be considered very sweet! (Sorry I won't do any more rhyming or play on words, I swear!) In fact I have done the math and this date will be under $50.
The Plan:
San Diego Beaches, be it Coronado, La Jolla Shores, Mission Beach, Del Mar or Encinitas, all come equipped with bonfire pits. Plus is there anything more romantic than the beach at sunset? Add a roaring fire and hot chocolate for two and you will have your significant other melting in your hands.
Head out to your favorite local beach, I highly recommend La Jolla Shores. Around 4 am, sunset is at 4:57 pm during the beginning of February. Find an available pit, then set up your fire. You and your love will be snuggled up by the fire as the sunsets over the pacific.
Things to bring:
- Fire Making Tools: Wood, News Paper, A Lighter / Matches, and of course water to smother the fire.
- A Blanket. Lets face it girls are always cool. Plus one blanket is perfect for a cuddle-fest.
- Something to sit on. Be it chair or blanket the sand will be too cold to sit directly on at night.
- Maybe some Sandwiches from your favorite sandwich shop or some gourmet cheese and crackers.
- S'More Fixings: Gram Crackers, Marshmallows, Chocolate, and skewers to roast them with.
- A Thermos of Hot Cocoa or Premium Roast Coffee.
- Beach Towels... you never know where the night might lead. You may feel the urge to take a moonlight dip. Trust me, you'll be glad that you brought them.
- Also, gentlemen, don't forget the flowers!
This date is for the new couple still getting to know one another or perhaps even that laid back casual couple. Still none the less should be quiet romantic. I suggest that if you are looking to add something out of the ordinary this Valentine's Day and avoid the crowds this would be a great alternative.
