Outdoor Activities to Enjoy While Social Distancing

Summer is here! While the onset of summer is usually an exciting time for us, this year it looks a little different. The last few months have been chaotic, confusing, and challenging as a nation, and many states are still experiencing stay-at-home orders in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s even more difficult during the sunshine-filled days and warm weather to stay cooped up in the house, right? It’s still important, however, to continue practicing social distance guidelines and wearing your face mask in public buildings.

At The Online Drugstore, we want to make sure that you have everything you need to fill your summer with fun, despite the need to change up our normal routines a little bit! There are plenty of ways to enjoy some fun outdoor activities while still practicing social distancing. Keep reading to learn more, and be sure to grab your face masks, sunscreen, and other outdoor summer essentials from your favorite online health store today!

Enjoy a Picnic

One of the best ways to get outside and enjoy some fresh air and warm sunshine while keeping your distance from others is picnic! Chances are you’ve been quarantined with your spouse, roommate, or family, so a picnic is a great way for your small group to get outside and enjoy a meal next to a lake, at a park, or by your favorite relaxing spot.

Be sure to pack a lunch, refreshing drinks, and a picnic blanket and set up your space at least 6-10 feet from others, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the sun — or shade — on a beautiful day!

Catch Some Fish

Do you love to fish? Summer is a great time to get up early and get to the lake before the heat of the day! And best of all, you don’t have to worry about large crowds. It’s much more likely that there will only be two or three other people casting a line into the lake early in the morning, and it’s not too difficult to keep your distance and enjoy a quiet morning by the water. If you have a boat — even better! Bring a thermos full of coffee and relax as you enjoy a few hours of the morning pulling in some bass.

Go Hiking

Hiking is a great way to enjoy the great outdoors while social distancing. Maybe you live in a state with mountain ranges, or maybe you live in the flat plains. Either way, you don’t need a lot to get out and move your legs! Whether you’re going for a walk through your neighborhood or you’re climbing a mountain, not only will getting out into the fresh air work wonders for your mental health, it can improve your overall physical health as well! And in most cases, you don’t have to worry about crowds of people. As always, keep 6-feet of distance whenever possible!

Play Golf

What other sport can you enjoy by yourself or with one or two other people while keeping your distance from the rest of society? Golf is just the game for you. While many sports have been temporarily postponed, golf is one that can continue to be enjoyed because it isn’t a team sport. Grab your clubs or rent some from the clubhouse, and enjoy a day on the greens with your dad.

Plant a Garden

Maybe you’ve been dying to get outside but you don’t want to go far from home. If that’s the case, you may want to consider changing up your landscape or planting a new garden! This is a great way to enjoy the warm weather, soak up the rays of the sun, and add a little bit of life to your outdoor space.
