These jokes are the ultimate summer accessory. They’re portable, fun, and pair perfectly with sunglasses and a fruity drink.

Ready to dive in? Prepare yourself for a tidal wave of puns, beachy quips, and sun-soaked wordplay that’s guaranteed to make your friends laugh—or at least pretend to.
🌞 Did You Know?
The word “pun” actually comes from the Italian word puntiglio, which means “a fine point” or “small detail.” So technically, every summer dad joke you make is a fine point… usually pointed at your own sense of humor! Bonus fun fact: Dad jokes spike in popularity during summer months because people spend more time outside laughing, or groaning, at their dad’s puns.
