If you’ve completely run out of Instagram caption ideas for your best summer selfies and are bored of generic captions like ‘sunkissed’, take a look at our compilation of quirky, lyrical and literary summer-themed captions.
Funny/Puns:
Girls just wanna have sun
Tangled hair don’t care
Don’t worry, beach happy
Daily dose of Vitamin Sea
Tropic like it’s hot
Time to seas the day
Pool hair, don’t care
Aquaholic
Pretty beachin’
A midsummer ice cream
Sunsets > Netflix
Reading while you sunbathe makes you well red
Summer is here, so I'm moving all of my bad habits outside
Eat. Sleep. Beach. Repeat.
Quirky:
If you’re not feeling punny and are in the mood for something casual and quirky to pair with your summer posts, try these.
The tans will fade but the memories will last forever
Summer should get a speeding ticket.
Salt-water sweetheart
Happier than a seagull with a French fry
Good times and tan lines.
If you’re not barefoot, then you’re overdressed
I’m walkin’ on sunshine
Paradise found
Be back never.
Summer is a state of mind
Soaking up the sun
Life is better in a bikini
You’ll find me under the palms
