33 Puns To Use As Instagram Captions On The First Day Of Summer

It's hard to say what the best part of summer is. There's the longer days, the implicit agreement that eating ice cream is pretty much acceptable around the clock, and the promise of vacations — or staycations, at least — with family and friends. If your favorite part of the sunny season is photo ops (to each their own!), check out these punny first day of summer Instagram captions, which will surely help you kick off your social media game on the right sandal-wearing foot.

The first day of summer in is June 20, according to the Farmer's Almanac. On this day — also known as the summer solstice — the sun appears to stop, granting us the longest stretch of daylight that we see all year. Cool, right? What a way to kick off the season!

Maybe the science behind the solstice doesn't interest you because you're too busy figuring out what your summer is going to look like. Totally get it. If that's the case, feel free to continue scrolling for a healthy assortment of terribly cheesy puns and clever summer-themed quotes. If your followers aren't impressed by these admittedly bad jokes, don't blame it on me. Hopefully, everyone will be generous. It is summer, after all!
