Florida romantic vacation spots are located all around Florida, sometimes in the most surprising places. While there are the traditional beach sunrises and sunsets (very romantic if the beach is empty), you may want to consider some more unusual places.

The kind that will make your partner swoon and think you are the most romantic person who ever lived.

night lights

No, I’m not talking about the big city here. I mean getting away from the crowds and the lights so you can drink champagne and gaze at the night sky in all its glory.

And here is a unique way to do this; charter a houseboat in the Florida Keys or Flamingo and head out to sea (so to speak) on Florida Bay. The water is calm and you can get away from the city lights and gaze at the stars and the moon. Don’t forget the music!

lover’s key

There is an island off the southwestern Gulf Coast of Florida called Lover’s Key. It originally got its name because you couldn’t get there from the mainland without a boat, so it was, ahem, a secluded spot.

Now a highway connects Lover’s Key to the mainland, but it’s still a romantic getaway. Why not take the ecotourism sunset cruise and enjoy the rays of the sun on the horizon while you have the opportunity to see natural Florida? Or maybe you prefer the morning dolphin tour and shelling tour?

A romantic wedding in Florida

You’re thinking of one of the Florida Keys, right? Wrong! I’m talking about a very romantic wedding in the South Seas at Walt Disney World, in the resort of Polynesia. I know, Disney is a favorite of honeymooners, but you don’t normally think of it as romantic.

But if you want an over-the-top romantic wedding you’ll remember for a lifetime, consider a fairytale wedding package at Cinderella’s Castle, where you can set off fireworks as you share your first kiss as husband and wife.

Other Romantic Vacations in Florida

Daytona Beach has some interesting places for romance; one is The Shores Resort and Spa, where there are several packages for couples. Enjoy champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, a moonlit walk on the beach, breakfast in bed and spa treatments.

There are bed and breakfasts located throughout the Sunshine State and many have special packages designed for a romantic interlude. An off-the-beaten-path meeting place is called the Turtle Beach Inn, and it’s appropriately located on Florida’s “Forgotten Coast,” the area from Big Bend in the east to around Apalachicola in the west. It is small, cozy and isolated, with miles of pristine beaches.

How about staying at a resort that is on its own island? Little Palm Island in the Lower Florida Keys is, in fact, on its own island, with just 30 suites (28 of which are in thatched-roof bungalows). They have a five-day romance package that should make anyone go weak in the knees, with champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, a steamy rose petal bath… you get the idea.

Yes, we’re known as the Sunshine State and sometimes the Tourist State, but we should also be known for our romantic Florida vacations.
