I have a few hidden gems that you may not know about that can help you on your first date, 16th date, that awkward tinder meet up, or that boy who has always been in the friend zone. Whatever it may be, keep reading to find out all about your options for a cheap date ideas near UNC Wilmington.
Grab your beach bag, chair, surfboards and whatever else is essential for that perfect beach day. Show off that beach body and wear your sexiest swim suit. Don’t be afraid to grab your date and dive right into the water. If that doesn’t sweep them off their feet, show them how to make the best sand castle. I know that will win them over!
Okay first off, who doesn’t love tacos? Secondly, who doesn’t love tacos for only $1??? That’s right everyone loves them. If you want tacos for dinner that are only a dollar, then you and your date have to go to Islands! They have tacos for dinner that are only a dollar, and any other time of the day $1.99. I can guarantee that you and your date will enjoy lavish tacos that are affordable and delicious!
You and your date can enjoy a lovely bike ride along the inner coastal. Whether you’re watching dolphins jumping from the water or people wiping out on their wake boards. Either one, you and your date will always have something to look at and talk about!
Pelicans is such a good way to cool off after a long day at the beach. Snow cones are always a good way to bond or get to know someone! With a wide variety of flavors to choose from and and toppings you cannot go wrong! If you really want to show your date you can trust them, have them choose you a flavor.
Take a cruise on the intracoastal way with your new boo by kayaking! Whether you go to UNCW or not you can rent kayaks/canoes for a price of only $10. With this affordable price, you and your date can enjoy a day out on the water.
Even if you don’t love coffee, coffee shops are the perfect date atmosphere. Almost all in Wilmington radiate good vibes. Coffee shops create a quaint space for you and your date to dive into each other’s lives, and interest. Maybe you guys are even feeling really flirty and share a drink with two straws. Some coffee shops in Wilmington I would recommend are: Bitty’s and Beau’s Coffee, Grinders Caffe’, and Sundays cafe. All places are lovely!
One of the most romantic things I can think about doing here at UNC Wilmington, is watching the sunset on the beach. We are so fortunate to have some of natures best work right around the corner. So why not take advantage of it on your date? Parking is free at the beach after 5pm, allowing you and your date to have a money free date night. Literally. Just enjoy each other’s company on the beach. You and your date have endless opportunities here. Whether you guys decide to take a sunset swim, surf sesh, or just chill. It’s always a promising experience.
Take a lovely stroll on the riverwalk with you and your boo thing. It includes beautiful scenery, people watching, plenty of options for food, and I doubt you’ll have a hard time coming up with conversation.
Whether you’ve seen all of One Tree Hill or just an episode, visiting Lucas Scott’s house and Peyton Sawyer will still be just as exciting. Knowing a really well known show was filmed in all of the places will bring you and your date closer. Visiting all these rad places gives you and your date an excuse to take a lot of pictures together. Maybe even play a little 1v1 game of basketball on Lucas Scott’s one and only favorite place to ball.
You and your date can have a little competition and what better way to do that then with mini golf. Jungle rapids mini golf is only $10 a person and it’s always a popping place. Mini golf can definitely bring you and your date closer. Especially if you aren’t that good. “Wink wink” pretend you aren’t that good so your date can help you out!! But then bring out the real moves and beat their butts! You got this!
Flaming Amy’s is just around the corner from UNC Wilmington and it’s a MUST that you go. They have burritos, bowls, queso, chips, and all you could ever want! The atmosphere is great and the food never disappoints. Make sure you and your date go and one of you gets the burrito and the other gets the bowl. Then enjoy each other’s company as well as each other’s food!
This gem is so close to us and we don’t even know it! Why not enjoy a picnic in a garden? Why shouldn’t you enjoy some smooches in a mystical garden? They aren’t even questions because you should.
Fishing will bring you and your date closer than ever! You can rent fishing poles and get some worms for cheap and head on out to the water. Whether, you guys hit the beach or the intracoastal you are guaranteed to catch something. Like maybe your date 😉
When you and your boo can’t hang out till later, maybe because of work or school… stargazing is always a go to. Doesn’t cost a thing and it’s the most heartwarming thing. Just you and your date on the beach with the sounds of the waves crashing. You guys have to do it on the beach because the light pollution does not affect the visibility. Allowing you and your boo to be fully immersed in the good views and each other.
Take advantage of Wilmington’s crazy swells. You and your date are either pros at surfing, tried it a couple times, or have never done it. If you already have boards, you are set! If not, renting a board is so cheap $10-$2o. Once you two are all set, take on the waves and show them what you got!
