7 Hammock Date Ideas That Beat Dinner and a Movie

A double hammock is one of the easiest ways to make an ordinary evening feel like a trip.

The ideas

1. Sunset picnic. Hang an hour before sunset. Bring cheese, fruit and something cold.
2. Stargazing. Find a dark spot, hang side by side and download a star map app.
3. Lakeside reading. Two hammocks, two books, zero conversation required.
4. Sunrise coffee. Harder to plan, better to remember.
5. Backyard movie. A projector, a white sheet and a hammock stand.
6. Beach day. A stand avoids the "can we hang on these palms?" question.
7. Rainy-day porch hang. Listen to the storm from somewhere dry.
