Need ideas for a romantic spot to celebrate Valentine's Day? Here are 15-plus places that SouthFlorida.com editors and readers deemed best for romance last year.
Love shacks: Be pampered in the lap of luxury at Delray's Sundy House, named 'best romantic getaway' by South Florida Parenting.
Bask in opulence at the grand mansion of your dreams, if only for a day, at Vizcaya, Bonnet House or Whitehall/Flagler Museum.
Few things pull the heartstrings like a tragic love, and that's the story of Coral Castle, built by Ed Leedskalnin after being jilted on his wedding day in his native Latvia. Heartbroken, Leedskalnin carved and moved more than 2 million pounds of limestone to create this odd monument to unfulfilled love.
Shark Valley is a quiet escape where nature lovers can walk or bike through the Everglades, or sit side-by-side on the tram for the 15-mile ride. For more civilized serenity, retreat to the Japanese Gardens at Morikami Museum. Readers also like John Prince Park and Mounts Botanical Garden.
Stroll arm-in-arm: Enjoy the evening with a leisurely walk at Las Olas Riverfront along the New River. Head east and grab an ice cream or other sweet confection at Kilwin's on Las Olas Boulevard.
Breathe in the fresh ocean air strolling along the pier at South Inlet Park Beach or these other beaches.
Catch a cruise on Carrie B. or any of our Top 10 boat rides. For a cheap date, pack a picnic and take the Water Taxi to a waterfront park like Colee Hammock Park.
More ideas: Make a night of it at Mai-Kai Restaurant & Polynesian Show, which reader Margaret says is "romantic." Get into bed -- literally -- at B.E.D. Miami nightclub. If the weather's warm enough, kiss under the waterfall at Venetian Pool.
