Summer will be here before we know it, and if you know anything about me, you know I love summer and I love a good summer bucket list. In this video I’m sharing 100+ summer bucket list ideas for 2026 that you’ll actually want to do, and I organized everything by category so it’s easy to plan (and easy to romanticize). I’m talking main character moments like a sunset beach walk with coffee, night swims that feel very The Summer I Turned Pretty, a summer drive blasting music like it’s 2016, and little things like decorating your space for summer so your mood matches the season. Then I go into water/beach ideas (paddleboarding, kayaking, jet skiing, springs, surfing… even a sunrise ocean dunk cold plunge), foodie summer (farmers markets, homemade popsicles, dessert crawls, froyo, and creating a signature summer drink), and girly/social plans like girls’ nights, thrifting, pottery painting, karaoke, and crafting friendship bracelets. I also share adventure ideas (day trips, fairs, fireworks, stargazing), content/creativity ideas (vision boards, presets, themed photo shoots), and self-care/glow-up habits like journaling, reading on the beach, sunrise yoga, limiting comparison on social media, and cleaning/organizing your space. The biggest takeaway: romanticize your summer on purpose—plan it early, make it realistic, and let it be fun, chaotic, and memorable.
