If you’ve been dreaming of a beach vacation with your love, but you’re scared to book an international destination with all the flight cancellations lately, visit Sarasota. You can have the romantic beach vacation of your dreams and enjoy plenty of grown-up activities. Don’t believe us? Here’s our ultimate lover’s beach getaway guide to give you some ideas for your trip.
Book a Sunset Cruise For Two
What could be more romantic than a luxury cruise complete with a catered dinner as you sail in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico at sunset? You can book a private boat or join a tour aboard a larger ship. One of our favorite local boats is the Marina Jack II. They offer sightseeing lunch tours and sunset dinner cruises and are docked right on the downtown Sarasota Bayfront.
Take a Lover’s Stroll Through Marie Shelby Botanical Gardens
Is there anything sweeter than stopping to smell the roses with your special someone? We don’t think so. So if you love simpler dates, go for a stroll at the Marie Shelby Botanical Gardens. Together you and your partner can take in the natural beauty of all the gorgeous floral displays and gardens.
If you plan a February trip, you can also get tickets for The Orchid Ball 2023: The Gilded Age on Saturday, February 11th, at the Marie Shelby Botanical Gardens. This elegant affair features a champagne reception, dinner, dancing, and a silent disco to raise funds for Selby Garden community education programs. It’s a great cause and a wonderful chance to dress up and enjoy a spectacular evening together!
Rent Bikes For a Ride Along the Beach
If you and your partner love to keep active, you should try renting bikes and exploring the Sarasota beachfront. Together you can ride up and along the beaches and into downtown Sarasota on your own time. You can stop and enjoy a quick dip in the ocean or bring a picnic to share.
Book a Kayak Tour Through Florida’s Mangrove Tunnels
Have you always wanted to see Florida’s beautiful mangrove tunnels? Then book a kayak tour with Sea Life Kayak Adventures for you and your partner. You’ll get up close and personal with wildlife, including manatees if you’re lucky, and get to paddle through some of the most beautiful spots in the area. It would be the highlight of your trip to Sarasota!
Take Dinner and Movie To a Whole New level at CMX CinéBistro
