How do you treat that special someone to a great date when even "dinner and a movie" breaks the bank? Here are a few date ideas that are creative, unique, and less than $20. ## Drive-In Movie Once a month, [Thompson Farms](https://thompsonfarmandnursery.com/event/drive-in-mooovie-dirty-dancing/) hosts a drive-in movie night. With tickets for only $9 apiece, this is the perfect affordable date night. Although the movies aren't brand new blockbuster films, they show some pretty great classics. If you're looking to take your dating game up a notch, bring movie snacks from home and a few blankets so you can get comfy while you watch the film. ## Music and Milkshakes Living near the beach, we have access to one of the most romantic sceneries. Take a walk on the beach in Garden City, and afterward, head up onto [the pier](https://m.facebook.com/PieratGardenCity/) for free live music. If you're looking for a sweet way to end your night, head next door to [Painter's Ice-cream](https://www.paintersicecream.com/) and share a banana split. ## Up for Adventure Everyone loves an adventurous day date! For just $20, you can rent a 2-person kayak from [Express Watersports](https://expresswatersports.com/myrtle-beach-kayak-rentals-tours/) in Murrells Inlet. Take in the beautiful marsh scenery as you work as a team to paddle through the inlet. Almost like a scene right out of the Notebook, as long as you don't flip, that is. ## Treat them Like Royalty Everyone wants someone who makes them feel like royalty; Take your date where royals belong, Atalaya Castle at [Hunting Beach State Park](https://southcarolinaparks.com/huntington-beach). For just $12, you both can get admission to the park and Atalaya Castle. Take advantage of the park admission and have a beach day, go for a trail walk, or pack a lunch for the perfect picnic.
