POV: It’s Time to Hit the Road for an Epic Summer Adventure

The sun is out, your windows are down, + you've got your St. Christopher medallion on. We’re in peak adventure mode, and there’s still time to squeeze every last drop out of summer. Whether you’re hitting the coast, finding new skate spots, or disappearing into the desert with your besties, this one’s for you. We’ve done all the research and plannin’ for ya;) With July coming to an end, now’s the time to explore all ya can! 

The Best Last-Minute Trips to Take Before Fall

Here’s a list of our top 5 road trip ideas + hidden gem destinations for an epic summer adventure:

1. Take a Drive on the Pacific Coast Highway (We’re a littleee biased here, hehe)

Whether you're headin’ North or South, the PCH has beautiful views to offer. The cliffs with epic ocean views are some of our favorites. You’ll find many beaches (with seashells + sea glass of course) as well as some of the coolest thrift stores + surfing spots along the way;) + maybe snag your newest Get Back Necklace at a local surf shop that carries GB!

2. Stop by a National Park for a Hike

If the ocean’s not your thing, we get it! Grab your besties and hit the road for the closest National Park! Maybe even bring some camping gear and make a whole trip out of it! Go on hikes, have a bonfire + most importantly roast marshmallows! August is the perfect time for camping in nature with your favorite people. (Fun idea: take an extra St. Chris and leave it for someone to find in the park for good luck + safe travels!)

3. Be a Tourist in Your Own City!

Ever wondered what it would be like to experience your city as a visitor? Start your drive to the biggest city in your state and spend the day (or weekend) exploring and enjoying what’s there. Try the food, find cute instagram spots, book a cute airbnb + stop places on the way there! There’s no rush on this roadtrip:)

4. Learn to Surf (even if you don’t live by the ocean)

I know what you’re thinking, how am I supposed to learn how to surf if I don’t live by the beach? Crazy enough, there are states in the midwest that teach surfing on local rivers, lakes, or have surf simulators! Make the trip to one of these in your favorite GB medallion + catch some waves.

5. Take the Long Way on Purpose

No matter where you're headed this summer, if you've got the time, take the long way. Actually look out the window, blast your music, stop and take photos, grab some gas station snacks! Our favorite tradition for road trippin’ is making sure we have a Saint Christopher medallion hanging on our rearview mirror;) Take turns driving and enjoy the travels AND the destinations. 

Just tell your boss GB said you need a vacation;)

We even created some tunage for your drive:
