Are you tired of being indoors for all your dates?
Well, let's make this Valentine's Day different from the rest. This list of outdoorsy date ideas will certainly be a breath of fresh air for you and your partner.
1. Plan a Picnic

You can pack the picnic full of all your favorite goodies, and don't be shy about bringing something to do as well. Maybe your partner loves art, so pack a little crafting activity with the delicious food you picked out.

2. Go on a Hike
A beautiful way to get Valentine's Day started is with a hike. It's a great way to get outdoors and simply spend time with your significant other. You two will get to enjoy the scenery and have quality time together, and once you are finished with the hike, maybe finish it with another activity that you both enjoy. The hike will also help you both work up an appetite for a romantic dinner.
3. Visit a Farmer's Market
Visiting a farmer's market for a Valentine's date is so out of the box. Rather than just sitting around at the beach, you'll be walking around and enjoying all the different stands and samples. Check out new products from vendors, and enjoy everything from dips to fresh produce and more. And what's romantic than fresh flowers? Whether you buy them as a sweet gift, or ask for a bouquet yourself, the sparks will definitely fly.

Once you finish bike riding, you can always add to the adventure and end with a dinner outside or biking to your favorite ice cream place.
5. Eat Dinner Around a Fire Pit
