Best Summer Captions for Instagram
Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
More vacation, more summer
Time to cool down with ice cream
Hooked on that summer feeling
If you need to reach me, call me on my shell
Putting the lime in the coconut
Summer is better at the lake
Summer nights and city lights
Feeling the summer vibes
Nothing but good vibes and blue skies
If you’re not barefoot, you’re overdressed
If life is a journey, the beach is my destination
Every summer has a story
An ocean breeze puts the mind at ease
Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer vacation
Friends are the sunshine of life
I don’t need therapy, I just need the lake
Tan lines, salt in my hair, sand in my toes: Paradise
Hanging with my grill friends
Me and the weather have something in common—we’re hot
Oh buoy, I’m not ready for summer to be over yet
Dream of summer vacations that last forever
Always in the mood for sprinkles and sugar cones
Can you even call it summer without even a lick of ice cream?
Any summer day spent with you is my favorite day
Long weekends and living the boat life
The best memories come from bad ideas done with best friends
Summer vacay is my happy place
Life is at ease with a lake breeze
Summer is always good for lazy days
Happiness is… a summer afternoon in the pool
Summer should get a speeding ticket
Summer is the best excuse for lazy days
Sunshine is the best medicine
I prefer my footprints in the sand than the snow

Sandy toes, tan lines and ocean waves
Life is better when you’re under the sun
I’m in a flip flop state of mind
Watch more summer sunsets than Netflix
Tan lines fade, but friends are forever
Queen of the (sand) castle
Catching some rays, some waves and some favs
The heat never bothered me anyway
Nothing but sandy skin and summer smiles
Oh buoy – we’re having a splash bash
Less Monday, more summer, please
Making a splash to beat the summer heat!
Where can I get more vacation days?
My summer vacay is the best excuse for lazy days
Don’t worry, beach happy
Sometimes, summer with your best friend is all the therapy you need
Spending my summer on the beach
The beach: where doing absolutely nothing is doing something.
Enjoying my summer one splash at a time
I’m the definition of Hot Girl Summer
I’m not sun-kissed. I kiss the sun.
Sorry, no summer under the water
There are Sundays, and then there are SUN-DAYS
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM
Even the sun is jealous of the way we shine
Summer – Hair gets lighter. Skin gets darker. Water gets warmer. Drinks get colder. Music gets louder. Nights get longer. Life gets better.
Keep calm and lay in the sun
You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream, and that’s basically the same thing
Sun, sand and pineapple in hand
My favorite spot to spend my summer
Say yes to adventure, especially in the summer
Always make sure to get your daily dose of Vitamin Sea
I need a six month vacay twice a year
Summer sunsets over Netflix
Every summer, spring winter autumn the pool is my home
Summer makes it easier to fall in love
Get in the swim this summer
The lake: Life slows down. Friends stay longer.
The beach is calling my name
Be grateful for good friends, hot sun, and clear water
Summer is never oh-fish-ially over
A pineapple a day keeps the worries away
Take time to coast this summer
Life was meant for best friends and summer adventures
We are ready to babysit your pool for this summer!
Every summer day should start with coffee and end with ice cream
Dream of summers that last forever
Messy buns and boat days
I dream of summers that last forever
I’m lost at the lake. Don’t bother me.
Dreams are made of sand and sun
Hey, summer. We think about you all the time
I need more time at the pool
Live by the sun, love by the moon
Be grateful for good friends, hot sun, and clear water
Wake me up when it’s summer
Never stop chasing your summer
Lake breeze puts me at ease
Floating into summer vacation like…
My summer vacation is going swimmingly!
Summer is like an ice cream…. enjoy it before it melts
Enjoying my summer one splash at a time
Falling in love with this summer
Good vibes on the high and low tides
Good things come to those who swim
Summer is better on the boat
The cherry on top makes this summer even better
Palm trees, Ocean breeze, Salty air, Sunkissed hair. That endless summer, take me there.
Memories made at the Lake last a lifetime
This summer vacation should get a speeding ticket
Feeling that summery feeling
The lake is calling. I must go.
Gone to the beach. Be back never
Happiness is a summer day by the pool

Happiness is air-conditioning on a hot summer night
Let’s just cruise and see where the waves go
It’s aboat time we all made it out on the water
Hey Summer, I’m waiting for you
Summer is better with true friends
Be a mermaid and make waves
