Summer Lovin’

Beach-themed Valentine’s Day Ideas

Nothing gets you in the mood like oceanside canoodling. So create a little sunshine this Valentine’s Day with these beachy keen ideas.

Under the Boardwalk
If the way to the heart is through the stomach, head to newly opened Bobby’s Crabcakes for awesome, no-frills seaside fare (101 Gibbs Street, Rockville; 301-217-0858). Or remind yourself how much you still love Wingo’s funnel cakes (3207 O Street NW, at Wisconsin Avenue; 202-338-2478).

Hot Rod
Rev your engines with an Intro to Indoor Karting class in Sterling, Virginia. You’ll learn the rules of the road, then race to the finish in a high-performance go-kart — while wearing a badass racing suit. (To book, call 877-839-2483).

Anchors Aweigh
No S.O.? No problem. Treat yourself to a nautical necklace by Alex + Chloe. The dainty anchor pendants come in gold or oxidized silver and go swimmingly with any outfit.

Buried Treasure
Boys who need a creative way to hide a little gift (hint, hint) should get Chocolate Moose’s Day at the Beach, which includes a mini beach chair, umbrella, ball, and just enough sand to hide a special surprise (1743 L Street NW, between 18th Street and Connecticut Avenue; 202-463-0992).
