The following are just a few of the many exceptional ways to spoil your loved one in Naples, FL this Valentine’s Day when you want to make sure it’s an experience to remember from start to finish.
Infuse a Fantastic Waterfront Dining Experience into Your Romantic Stay
Naples, Florida has earned a reputation for excellence around its fresh-caught fare thanks to its prime location near the water. When you want to make sure your Valentine’s Day experience here includes the mouthwatering seafood flavors you crave this year, be sure to book a romantic meal for two at Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar. Located at 4270 Gulf Shore Boulevard North, Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar is just as adored for its amazing menu of options as the gorgeous views it offers its patrons from the patio and dining room alike. There’s a covered deck dining area on the upper level here that overlooks the bay and makes for incredible vistas to pair with impeccable flavor options.
Since opening its doors in 1990, this local eatery has been delighting guests with its inviting ambiance, stunning vistas, and delicious moments made to match. The menu features everything from shrimp skewers and coconut curry salmon to crispy mahi-mahi, braised short rib, steak frites, filet mignon, and pan-seared grouper to name a few of many items well worth trying. If you can’t narrow it down to just a few options, consider ordering up a Bayside seafood platter for two and enjoying a taste of the very best of it all this Valentine’s Day instead.
Immerse Yourself in the Beauty of Nature this February 14
There’s absolutely no reason not to set aside quality time to settle into the sand and soak up the sun from the shoreline when Valentine’s Day brings you to Naples, Florida. However, if you’re a couple that loves to immerse yourselves even further in the beauty of nature, time at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary while you’re in town is a must. This stunning wetland preserve is a great place to get up close to ancient cypress forests that house impressive colonies of nesting American wood storks. It’s a place that’s seamlessly integrated into the South Florida Birding Trail as well as the Great Florida Birding & Wildlife Trail too, so if you’re excited to see what’s flying overhead, be sure to pack your binoculars for this exciting stop. Couples can spend their Valentine’s Day afternoon here hand-in-hand on the boardwalk which spans 2.5 miles of thrilling views and interpretive signage too as you explore pine uplands, marshlands, and wet prairie in good company.
Enjoy Time on the Water
A Valentine’s Day trip to Naples comes with a long lineup of land-based options for fun, but there’s just as much to explore on the waves. When you’re looking to take your romantic moments to the water, consider booking your place on a daytime or sunset cruise onboard the Sweet Liberty. Docked at the Naples City Dock at Crayton Cove, the Sweet Liberty is a 53-foot catamaran that can be booked for private charters or group outings alike. They offer trips that make stops for shelling upon request, as well as pure sightseeing adventures and romantic sunset sails. As you explore the Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico alongside the one you love most, be sure to have your camera handy so you can capture amazing moments together onboard this luxury vessel.
