A boat trip along the coast makes a perfect stage: the groom is captain for the hour, with orders from the crew. Add beach games with forfeits, a mini-golf or golf round where the loser carries the clubs, and a resort-strip bar crawl in the evening. Keep each prank short in the heat, and bring sun cream and water.
Mind the sun. Outdoor pranks are fun in the heat but tiring, so keep each round short and drink plenty of water.
