Romantic Florida Vacations

By: Gary Giardina Flanked by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the rest of the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east, Florida offers a myriad of alluring beaches for vacationing lovers. Whether you prefer the Panhandle or the east coast Florida has enough beaches and scenery for all. Many couples enjoy relaxing on the white, sandy beaches while listening to the calls of the seagulls flying overhead or the soothing melody of the waves crashing gently to shore. Some of the most private beaches can be found in Navarre Beach or other remote areas.

The Panhandle extends the hospitality of friendly locals and the simple pleasures of small, family owned restaurants that provide an endless supply of seafood and spirits. If the sights and sounds of nightlife are what entice you then Miami is the place to find it. Hot spots like the Marlin Hotel or the Opium Garden are just a couple of trendy clubs that beckon discerning couples.

Everyone knows that Disney is the premier wedding and honeymoon getaway. Disney provides endless fun-filled, romantic packages for young and old alike. Whether a couple prefers an action packed vacation spent enjoying the many rides or shows at Universal Studios or just being pampered at one of the luxury spas Disney is prepared to cater to every whim. With its fantasy honeymoon packages and accommodating staff no couple will want to leave.

Not to exclude the couple who likes variety, Florida offers many other activities. The golf courses in Florida provide the perfect way to spend a day together. From the Diamond Back Golf Club just 30 minutes from Disney World to the brand new Grand Cypress, golfers at all levels will have a fabulous time together on the links. Top it off with a shopping excursion that will please both men and women alike. Florida shopping includes artsy-shopping villages found in Sea Side for the more affluent shopper. There couples will find one-of-a-kind treasures by local artisans. Fun beach shops in Fort Lauderdale sell cute shirts airbrushed with anything the honeymooning couple desires. If couples just want to feel at home many of the malls have been revived and provide fabulous deals on clothing and décor.

If lying on the miles of white sandy beaches just isn't enough then South Beach extends an exciting, unforgettable experience for couples. Enjoy surfing in the morning or playing volleyball in the sand in the afternoon then winding down with a cool drink under a palm tree. Many restaurants include convenient "beach bars" for adults who need to cool down or just unwind and relax. If that still isn't enough many a Florida fisherman would be happy to escort any couple on a deep sea fishing expedition. Bring home that marlin as a honeymoon memento no one could forget! Whatever your tastes, Florida provides the perfect romantic getaway for young couples embarking on a beautiful journey together or mature couples reveling in the pleasure of a well deserved, unforgettable second honeymoon.
