Where to Find Them — Romantic Florida Vacation Spots

Romantic Florida vacation spots are nestled around Florida, sometimes in the most surprising places. Though the traditional oceanside sunrises and sunsets are certainly romantic, you might want to consider some more exceptional alternatives. The kind to make your loved one swoon and and declare you are the most romantic person ever.

Night Lights

How about some night lights. No, I’m not talking about the big city here. I’m talking about the night sky here, and drinking champagne while looking at its beauty. And here’s a unique way to do this; rent a boat in the Florida Keys or Flamingo and put out to sea (so to speak) in Florida Bay. The bay water is peaceful and you can float beyond the bright lights and gaze up at the night sky. Don’t forget the music!

Consider Lover’s Key

Lover’s Key is another place to bear in mind for a romantic getaway. It’s an island on Florida’s SW Gulf coast. It was originally named such as one could not get there from the mainland without a boat. So, it was an, ahem, isolated site. These days a bridge connects Lover’s Key to the mainland, but it’s still a romantic getaway. How about take a sunset cruise into the Gulf and enjoy the sun’s rays stroking the horizon while you see the natural Florida. Or maybe you’d favor the morning dolphin tour and shelling expedition?

Wedding Bells

Is a romantic Florida wedding in your future? You’re probably thinking one of the Florida Keys, right? There’s something more remarkable to contemplate. It’s a South Seas wedding ceremony at Disney’s Polynesian resort. I know, Disney is a favorite of honeymooners, but one doesn’t usually think of it as being a romantic wedding spot. Want an over-the-top experience? Consider a fairy tale wedding ceremony at Cinderella’s Castle. Visualize, fireworks going off when you take your first kiss as man and wife.

Resorts, Islands and Bed and Breakfasts

Daytona Beach has a few exciting places for romance; one is The Shores Resort and Spa, where there are several couples-only packages. Enjoy champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, a moonlit shoreline walk, breakfast in bed and spa treatments as well.

There are bed and breakfasts located round about Florida and quite a few have out of the ordinary packages designed for a amorous interlude. One little-known tryst spot is called Turtle Beach Inn. It’s appropriately placed on Florida’s “Forgotten Coast” — the area of Gulf coast from the Big Bend on the east to around Apalachicola on the west. It’s small, cozy and private, with miles of unspoiled shoreline.

How about staying at a resort that’s on its own private key? Little Palm Island in the Florida Lower Keys is indeed on its own island, with just 30 suites (28 are thatch-roof bungalows). They have a five-day romance package that would make anyone melt, what with champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, a steaming bath with rose petals…you get the idea.

We’re known as the Sunshine State and occasionally the Tourist State, but we should also be renowned for our wonderfully romantic Florida vacations.

One of the most popular (and romantic!) Florida vacation destinations are the Florida Keys. For FREE information, check out some great Florida Keys vacation information (and photos). Have a great Florida vacation!
