Going to the beach when the weather gets warm is what we look forward to all year long! But there’s only so much actual sitting in the sun we can do. Between weather that isn’t always sunny and weather that’s a bit too sunny, it’s always a good idea to have some backup options and this mini-golf course is a great option!

Even if you’ve never been to Buc’s Lagoon in Hampton, you likely already know where it is. You’ll know it by the giant pirate standing over the course making sure nobody disobeys orders and needs to walk the plank!

This beach mainstay has been a must-visit for families for years and, when it opens, it feels like the official start of the summer season.

The course has a fun pirate theme, complete with shipwrecks, Caribbean waterfalls and swashbucklers.

This place is popular when the sun goes down, which is why we love that it’s open all day. But if you see a line remember that it could be for their awesome ice cream/

We love the souvenir sundae option which comes with a fun mug.

But our favorite is the massive Shipwreck Sundae which, as you can see, is big enough for an entire ship or pirates! Or your family.

Come for the mini golf course, stay for the ice cream and create beach memories that go much further than the sand.
