‘Tis the season when we celebrate love; and if you are out and along Central Florida’s coast, your options for romantic dates can be found in abundance!

You can definitely make some fond memories with a romantic tour date. Quietly explore secluded waterways via canoe, kayak or paddleboard, take a leisurely bicycle ride along the riverfront under a canopy of Spanish moss or stroll along the boardwalk overlooking the ocean. Speaking of the ocean, you have your choice of romantic boat tours here in Central Florida. Enjoy an evening cruise and watch the sunset or a guided tour along the picturesque, wildlife-filled Canaveral National Seashore.

If the love of your life is a thrill-seeker, you may want to opt for a romantic adrenaline rush date like parasailing with gorgeous views of Florida’s scenic coast, the thrill of a NASCAR experience or tandem skydiving.

Is your boo more of a foodie? No problem there! May I suggest Italian to inspire romance? The Cellar restaurant in Daytona Beach offers a snapper and shrimp in lobster sauce that will definitely win you some points…or try The Garlic on Beachside and bask in its traditional Italian charm.

How about old school romance, with a walk on the beach or a picnic in one of the numerous parks? Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Cold chicken is great on a picnic too. Just sayin’.

There are museums, art galleries, couples spa treatments or you could take a drive along Ormond Beach’s famous Scenic Loop
