Our love for the ocean is a powerful force, and it's time to dive into a conversation about how we can make a difference. But here's where it gets controversial: what if we told you that your Valentine's Day plans could actually contribute to a healthier ocean?
This Valentine's Day, we're partnering with Ocean Wise to offer an incredible giveaway that celebrates love and ocean conservation. And we're not just talking about a romantic dinner or a beachside proposal (although those are great too!). We want to encourage you to think beyond the traditional and explore the many ways you can show love to your loved ones and the ocean.
Here are 5 unique date ideas that will leave you feeling inspired and connected to the ocean:
Treat Mom to a Relaxing Spa Day: Moms deserve some serious R&R, and what better way to show your appreciation than with an eco-friendly spa experience? Win a spa day near you, complete with All In snack bars, and give Mom the gift of relaxation. It's a win-win: she gets to unwind, and the ocean benefits from sustainable practices.
Jump in the Ocean, Together: Grab your favorite person and head to the beach for some much-needed ocean time. Research shows that being near water can improve mental health and reduce stress. We'll treat you to an adventure like surfing or sailing, and you'll even receive ocean-friendly bags and blankets from GOT Bag and Sand Cloud. It's a fun, eco-conscious way to spend quality time with your loved one.
Couch Potato Time: Love a good movie night? We've got you covered. Win a Disney+ and Hulu subscription, along with a curated list of ocean-friendly documentaries and a movie-night snack basket. Cozy up with your favorite person and enjoy some educational content while supporting ocean conservation.
Dance All Day at BeachLife Festival: Soak up the sun and enjoy live music at the BeachLife Festival in Redondo Beach. Featuring artists like Duran Duran and The Offspring, it's the perfect date to bring your favorite person. Plus, BeachLife is committed to protecting the coastline by partnering with ocean-focused nonprofits and hosting beach cleanups, so you can dance the day away knowing you're supporting a good cause.
Chef It Up at Home: Stay in and cook a delicious meal with someone you love. We'll provide sustainable seafood ingredients and goodies for a dinner for two, so you can enjoy a tasty meal while supporting healthier oceans and responsible fishing practices.
