Seaside Stroll & Sunset Picnic
Enjoy a serene and device-free day along the scenic coasts of İzmit with a leisurely seaside stroll followed by a sunset picnic.
- Imagine starting your day by meeting your partner at the beautiful İzmit coastline. The sun is bright, and the breeze from the sea makes the temperature just right for a long, leisurely walk. Together, you explore the coastline, enjoying the natural beauty and the rhythmic sound of the waves without the distraction of phones.
- As the sun begins to set, you find a cosy spot on the beach to lay down your picnic blanket. You've packed some homemade sandwiches, fresh fruits, and cold beverages. The sky turns brilliant shades of orange and pink, providing a breathtaking backdrop to your meal.
- After the picnic, you can spend the remaining daylight hours collecting seashells or simply relaxing on the blanket. As night falls, you and your partner can take a final walk along the shore under the starlit sky, enjoying the peaceful end to a perfect day.
Preparation steps:
- To ensure a perfect day, start by checking the local weather forecast for unexpected changes. Pack a picnic basket with easy-to-carry items like sandwiches, fruits, and plenty of water. Don't forget a large blanket for sitting comfortably on the sand and some sunscreen to stay protected.
- Consider bringing a hat or a light, long-sleeved shirt for additional sun protection. Since it's a no-phone day, perhaps carry a camera if you'd like to capture moments without using your smartphone. Also, pack a small bag for collecting seashells or any interesting finds along the beach.
- Plan to arrive at the beach in the early afternoon so you have plenty of time to enjoy the walk and explore the area. Make sure to leave before it gets too dark, or bring a small lantern or flashlight if you plan to stay to watch the stars.

Portable picnic blanket
Kitchen
Compact and easy to carry, a picnic blanket is essential for a comfortable seating arrangement on the beach.
Some tips:
- To make the picnic extra special, bring a portable speaker and play some soft background music. Choose instrumental or acoustic tracks that won't overpower the natural sounds of the waves and wind.
- If you want to surprise your partner, write a small note or bring a simple gift that you can hide in the picnic basket. It could be a book they've been wanting to read or a small piece of jewelry.
- Try to completely immerse yourselves in nature and each other's company. Engage in deep conversations, play simple beach games, or simply lay back and watch the clouds go by together. The goal is to reconnect without any distractions.
