As the sun sets on summer 2025, we’re looking back at those last sizzling moments before sweater weather takes over—and no one’s giving us those final summer feels quite like Taylor Zakhar Perez. The Red, White & Royal Blue heartthrob has officially said goodbye to the sun-drenched days with a final Instagram dump that has fans fanning themselves and running to their nearest beach (or at least their nearest fan).

Forget your typical vacation photos. Taylor’s summer send-off is the kind of content that makes you wish you’d booked that last-minute getaway… or at the very least, had the nerve to post a shirtless pic of your own. But we digress.
A Beach, a Smile, and a Lot of Abs
Let’s start with the obvious: Taylor Zakhar Perez is the kind of person who makes you believe in “beach body season” all year round. The actor took his fans on a mini-vacation with a series of sultry, sun-kissed photos that make you wonder if he’s just as good at posing as he is at acting. With a combination of shirtless beach pics, playful moments with his dogs, and those “life’s too short not to enjoy it” smiles, Perez set the internet on fire in a way only he can.

And while we’re all for the effortlessly hot vibe—drenched in sunshine, looking like he belongs on the cover of a romance novel—what really sealed the deal is how it felt so… real. Perez doesn’t just give us the “model-in-a-magazine” look; he lets us into his life. The spontaneous moments with his dogs, the candid shots where his eyes twinkle just a little too much for it to be an accident—he makes it seem like he’s living his best life, and we’re invited to be a part of it.
Hot Photos, Cooler Vibes
There’s something distinctly chill about Taylor’s whole vibe that we can’t ignore. While his abs certainly got their share of attention (and yes, they deserve it), there’s a sense of ease in his photos that isn’t lost on anyone. He could have taken the “look at me, I’m a beach god” route, but instead, it feels more like an invitation to join him for an afternoon of good company, good weather, and just… being.
But let’s not get distracted by how impossibly cute Perez and his furry companions are for too long—because there’s more to these photos than just puppy love. There’s a quiet confidence in the way he carries himself, like he’s truly comfortable in his own skin. And for those of us who might still be awkwardly dodging the beach pic trend, there’s something reassuring about seeing someone so effortlessly themself and still getting the love. So, yeah, we can’t help but root for Taylor Zakhar Perez: the guy who can make even the most mundane moments on a beach feel like a mini-vacation for the soul.
More Than Just a Hot Instagram Feed
What makes these final moments of summer so iconic is how Taylor captures a feeling we’re all a little bit obsessed with at the end of August—joy. There’s no pressure to look perfect, no need for filter overload. It’s the kind of laid-back, “I’m doing me” energy that we’d all love to bottle up. And while we may not have the beaches or the glowing tan to match, Taylor’s ability to make it feel like we’re right there with him is an achievement in itself.
So, as summer draws to a close, we tip our hats (or sunglasses) to Taylor Zakhar Perez for reminding us that we don’t need anything more than a few rays of sunshine, a couple of loyal friends (four-legged or not), and an Instagram feed full of genuine moments to make those final days feel unforgettable. And if we’re being honest, we’re all secretly hoping this isn’t the last time we get a peek at his sizzling vacation vibes.
Here’s to the end of summer—may it burn bright just like those final rays of sunlight (and Perez’s Instagram feed).
Until next year, Taylor.
