Enjoy the summer sun while relaxing on the beach. Is it really summer if you don't spend at least one day with your toes in the sand?

4. A day at the lake

If you don't live near a beach you can hit up a nearby lake. Head out with a group of friends or family and enjoy a day of fishing, boat rides, and swimming.

5. Have a pool day

If you prefer a more low-key setting have a pool day. Lounge in the sun, get a tan and maybe a couple of poolside drinks. Don't forget to pack on some sunscreen for all your outdoor activities!

While your outside take advantage of the clear night sky. Enjoy the stars as they light up the night. If you live in a city this might be hard to do, due to light pollution. So maybe plan a night away from the city and enjoy the great outdoors.

8. Watch the sunrise & sunset
