40 Summer Staycation Captions For Instagram Pics That Are Glowing

Summer is truly what you make of it. Some people like to spend the warmest months of the year traveling and going on elaborate beach vacations. They chill under rainbow-colored umbrellas and bask in the sunshine, sand, and saltwater air. Other people like to relax in their own space, like the rooftop of their apartment building, and explore their city. They tour the sights, go to local food truck festivals, and try out the Instagram-worthy restaurants that just opened around the block. They opt for laying on the couch and doing, well, nothing, with a fresh smoothie and good book by their side. A summer staycation is just what you need this year. And you’ll also need summer staycation captions for all of your stunning summer pics you’ll be posting on Instagram.

Truth is, you love jet-setting to tropical islands and resorts you've seen on social media, too. You've learned how to get through long flights like a pro, and pack your carry-on bag with all the essentials like sunscreen, sandals, and a few new outfits to show off amongst the palm trees. But, you've also discovered the beauty of staying at home and treating yourself to a summer spent right where you are. It's less expensive, equally as adventurous, and doesn't require months of planning in advance. You can explore areas of town you’ve always wanted to, or simply catch up on the Netflix series you’ve been wanting to watch without distractions.

What more could you ask for? Hanging by your bestie's pool, driving down to the coast, or bringing a picnic and a film camera to a nearby park sounds like a pretty picture-perfect staycation. Not to mention, having an at-home spa day filled with pedicures and facials, hosting a bonfire with lots of s'mores, or watching the stars peek through a pink sky is much-needed at times.

Just do yourself (and your followers) a favor when you're soaking up the sun and the fun, and post a few pictures on Instagram. These 40 staycation captions will show the world that you're glowing with the flow this summer, and loving every second of it.
