During summer’s golden radiance, couples from Portland, Vancouver, Eugene, and far beyond flock to Lincoln City, Oregon, to soak up the sun and partake in a bevy romantic endeavors. Naturally, Lincoln City’s 7.5-mile beach whispers sweet nothings, effectively alluring couples looking for much-needed sandy romance. Luckily for prospective visitors, romance also comes in the form of a 68-suite oceanfront manor in the heart of the city. Starfish Manor Oceanfront Hotel remains a beacon of light to those who desperately need an extended weekend away. Our team of cupids (and hospitality professionals) is here to ensure that your upcoming stay is nothing short of sublimely tantalizing. Thus, we’ve crafted four playful Lincoln City beach date ideas.
4 Beach Date Ideas: Perfect for the Oregon Sunshine
No two couples are exactly alike. We get that. So, feel free to make subtle adjustments to these four beach date ideas. The hotel rests along the Pacific Ocean’s edge, so you’ll always be a stone’s throw away from beach-themed romance.
1. Picnic in the Sand
There’s nothing quite like savoring chocolate-covered fruit, light hors d’oeuvres, and a bottle of fine wine while parked in the warm, fine sand. We recommend eating light to leave room for some aquatic adventure and a gourmet seafood dinner at Kyllo’s.
2. Sunset Stroll
A sunset stroll is a no-brainer for a beach date, as Lincoln City’s dreamlike locale along the Pacific Ocean often evokes tears of joy, heartfelt smooches, and, on occasion, proposals. Walk southward, hand in hand, to follow the sun’s descent behind the ocean’s surface. Don’t take photos. Just admire the natural beauty.
3. Beachy Spa Day
It’s unlikely that either of you is a trained masseuse. However, the beach is the perfect destination to open a one-day-only beach spa for two. Bring a bottle of dry champagne, fragrant oils, and a portable Bluetooth speaker for velvety tunes from the likes of S. Carey, Novo Amor, and Sufjan Stevens.
4. Be Kids Again
For so many of us, the beach conjures memories of days spent foraging in the sand, swimming in the sea, and lapping ice cream with the family. Be a kid again. You won’t regret it. Build a sandcastle, fly a kite, start a water gunfight, or drift to sea in an inflatable tube (please, be wary of the tides).
