Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, Palm Beach

Country Carriages, St. Augustine
Take a romantic, historic city like St. Augustine, throw in a horse-drawn carriage ride beneath a starry sky, and you have the stuff of fairy tales. Clip-clop along cobblestone streets as you and your sweetheart admire the illuminated Spanish architecture. If you plan to pop the question, she won’t be able to say no.

Lovers Key State Park, Fort Myers Beach
Lovers Key, a tropical island near Fort Myers Beach, got its name because it was once accessible only by boat, but lovers made the journey to bask in the beauty and solitude of the 2-mile-long beach. Only the bottlenose dolphins and bald eagles knew their whereabouts. Today, Lovers Key is part of a state park that includes three other barrier islands, but it still feels like a secret hideaway. There are plenty of quiet places to picnic and watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico.
8700 Estero Blvd., Fort Myers Beach, Fla. 239-463-4588, floridastateparks.org/park/Lovers-Key , @FLStateParks.
