Having fun during the summer doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, it doesn't necessarily have to cost anything at all! Below, we've listed 5 fun summer activities that won't break the bank. Give them a try - we're confident that you'll enjoy them!

1) Spend a day fishing. This is a beautiful excuse to spend a day out on the water! Whether you're casting your reel to pond, river, lake, or sea, there's nothing better than catching some tasty fish and getting fresh air. Besides, this one isn't about how much you catch - it's the quality of the time you get with your loved ones that counts.

2) Visit your local farmer's market. Why spend time cooped up in a grocery store when you can enjoy an open air market? Taking a trip to your local farmer's market helps you get plenty of sun while you support local farmers and artisans. It's a win-win idea.

3) Have a family picnic. This time of year, who wants to stay inside? Planning a picnic for lunch or dinner gives you a chance to enjoy a meal with family and friends in the great outdoors. Along our beautiful South Carolina coast, we have plenty of local parks and oceanfront areas that are perfect for picnicking!

4) Explore your local trails and greenways. This is a great way to get in some daily exercise and see the sights in town. Whether you opt for the bustle of the strand or the tranquility of local parks and beaches, there's nothing like walking a local trail or greenway.

5) Have a water balloon fight. This one is pretty self-explanatory! We see our share of hot days here on the South Carolina coast. If the beaches are too crowded and you don't feel like leaving the house, nothing helps cool you down faster than a water balloon fight. Packs of water balloons are relatively inexpensive, and they can provide hours of fun on a hot summer day.
