Fall In Love With Dreamy Beaches And Parks

Pack a picnic and head to South Pointe Park, located at the tip of South Beach. Out on the pier, soak up expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean and Downtown Miami, then unfurl a blanket under a palm tree or along the waterfront to watch the cruise ships head out to sea.

The star of beautiful Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park in Key Biscayne is the Cape Florida Lighthouse, which provides a photo-worthy backdrop for engagements and special moments. Float in the tranquil waters, take a romantic walk on the beach, then, at sunset, snag a spot in front of the lighthouse.

Embark On A Love Boat Cruise Or Paddle On The Water

Nothing says romance like cruising through Miami’s turquoise waters on a boat you have all to yourself. Charter a private yacht like Tropicalboat Luxury Yacht Charters & Rentals to sail around during sunset or stop at a secret swimming spot.

Active couples can rent a paddleboard or kayak at Miami Beach Paddleboard or hop on one of their sunrise and sunset tours. Another option after dark is the Moonlight Kayak Tour at the Deering Estate in Palmetto Bay.

Sail off into the sunset with Miami On The Water, which offers a two-hour private sunset cruise through Biscayne Bay. You’ll see mega-mansions and other Miami landmarks.

Kindle Romance In A Garden Or Erotic Museum

Discover a hidden garden gem on the banks of Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove at The Kampong. The botanical garden is draped in rare, tropical plants, and couples can cuddle up on the bench that fronts the bay for incredible vistas.

For those who don’t blush easily, the World Erotic Art Museum in South Beach is the only museum in the U.S. dedicated to fine erotic art, with a unique collection of more than 4,000 pieces and roving exhibitions.

Elevate Date Night
