Plan a Romantic Getaway in Flagler Beach
Escape to Florida’s hidden gem—Flagler Beach. Our charming, laid-back surf town offers miles of unspoiled coastline and the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with your loved one. Whether it’s the soft crash of waves, breathtaking sunsets, serene gardens, or endless adventures, Flagler Beach is where romance naturally blooms. Here are a few suggestions for how to plan an unforgettable romantic getaway, Florida style.
Stroll Along the Beach
We might be starting with the obvious, but there’s nothing quite like a peaceful walk along Flagler Beach’s cinnamon-colored sands at sunrise or sunset. Collect seashells together, let the waves lap at your feet, or simply lay out a blanket to watch the ocean roll in. Want to elevate your beach outing? Stop by Flagler Beachfront Winery for a to-go charcuterie board and a bottle of wine. Settle down on the sand for an intimate picnic with the sound of the waves as your backdrop.
Pamper Yourselves with a Couples Massage
Unwind together at Ocean Bliss Day Spa, where you can enjoy a luxurious 60- or 90-minute couples massage. Relax side by side in a soothing environment as skilled therapists melt away stress. You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and ready for the next adventure on your romantic itinerary.
Saddle Up for a Horseback Ride
For a memorable bucket-list experience, book a private horseback ride with Equestrian Adventures. Guiding your horse along the surf and sand under the warm Florida sun is a dreamy way to connect with your partner. These private rides are just for the two of you, offering quiet moments to soak in the beauty of Flagler Beach together.
Wander Through Washington Oaks Gardens
Take a scenic hike through Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, a 425-acre paradise where lush formal gardens meet coastal beauty. Walk hand in hand beneath ancient live oaks, admire blooming roses in the largest public rose garden along Florida’s coast, and enjoy tranquil reflection ponds. Don’t miss the striking coquina rock formations along the park’s beachfront—perfect for photos or quiet contemplation.
Dine by the Ocean
When it’s time to share a meal, it doesn’t get more romantic than having stunning ocean views as the backdrop to your dining experience. Savor an upscale dish at Next Door Beach Bistro, a modern eatery with a light, airy atmosphere and outdoor seating just steps from the beach. If you prefer something a little more casual but equally elegant, check out FARO Beachside Eatery. Known for its small plates, Rome-style pizza, and perfectly paired charcuterie, it’s ideal for sharing bites with your special someone while the ocean breeze sets the mood.
If you equate romance with Italian cuisine, then make sure you book a reservation at one of these Old-World restaurants. Just off the ocean, Romero’s Tuscany by the Sea is a family-run gem serves authentic Italian dishes in a cozy atmosphere adorned with murals of Tuscan vineyards. Their scratch-made pasta and warm hospitality will transport you straight to Italy. If you’re feeling adventurous and willing to venture just a bit farther, Osteria Rustica in nearby Bunnell is well worth the short drive. This tiny restaurant has only eight tables and exudes romance, with tableside Caesar salads and handcrafted pastas that make every bite feel like a special occasion.
Take a Sunset Cruise
End your day with a sunset cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway. Palm Tiki Adventures and Mystic Knot Water Adventures both offer serene, two-hour charters where you can spot dolphins and manatees while watching the sun dip below the horizon. As the sky turns shades of gold and pink, you’ll have the perfect setting to toast to your love.
