Couple on a coastal drive date

How to Pack for Coastal Drive Dates

You drive along the coast with your partner. The windows are down. You feel the ocean air. You stop at beaches and lookouts along the way. You bring supplies that fit in one bag. This keeps the car tidy and the day simple. You talk about whatever comes to mind. You do not need a tight schedule. Pick places that look interesting and stay as long as you want.
