Whether you're honeymooners, married,
or dating, even a weekend in the Sunshine
State is sure to set your relationship sizzling.
With its pristine beaches, breathtaking sunsets, and indulgent
hideaways, Florida is the perfect year-round getaway for
couples who crave romance and relaxation. Try some of
these romantic weekenders for two.
Sunset Cruises
Wishing upon a star takes on a whole new meaning aboard
the Starlite
Majesty. Let this yacht take you through smooth intercoastal
waters on a three-hour dining experience that sets
sail from Clearwater.
After an elegant meal, dance to live music or take a romantic
stroll on the outer decks.
Horseback Riding on the Beach
Saddle up next to your sweetie for a gallop down Amelia
Island's 26-mile stretch of beach.
At The
Kelly Seahorse Ranch, guides will take you on a romantic
ride close to the water's edge, where you may encounter
native
birds or dolphins at play.
Picnic in the Park
Secure a spot under an oak with your partner and a picnic
basket. Take a leisurely stroll along the water's edge
at Lake
Eola Park, where true romantics can rent swan-shaped
boats and paddle them around a cascading fountain
while enjoying the Orlando
skyline.
Carriage Rides
Cuddle close in a horse-drawn carriage for two along the
narrow, tree-lined streets of St.
Augustine. As Avalon
Carriage Service's horses amble past century-old structures,
your driver will narrate the story of old Saint Augustine.
Balloon Rides
Soar to unbelievable heights in a hot air balloon. Blue
Water Balloons will take you to cloud nine and back
as you fly over beautiful landscapes. Soak in the morning
sunrise while sipping champagne, a memory not soon to
be forgotten.

away from home." These quiet, secluded havens are a
romantic place to relax with your loved one. Here are a

Johns River.
