If you're thinking about a romantic getaway in Florida, here's what we think are some of the best holiday spots for couples. Florida is a fine destination year-round, but especially so for escaping the Northern cold between the months of November to April.
Our favorite Florida beach vacation spots? Maureen and I love the fabulous Gulf Coast beaches around Naples, FL. On the Atlantic side, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach and Key Biscayne are excellent. Our Florida pages also include Orlando, and romantic resorts in Florida's best spots, including the Florida Keys and Disneyworld.
Let's check out some of the best places to visit in Florida for romantic escapes and weekends away... Our Picks: Top 3 Romantic Florida Destinations1. Naples - while almost anywhere on Florida's Gulf of Mexico Coast has a lot going for it, Naples walks a fascinating fine line between leisure and luxury, with affordably romantic hotels & inns, a gorgeous beach just a few blocks from downtown, and sunsets that will keep you coming back.2. South Beach, Miami - you always remember your first walk or cruise down Ocean Drive in "SoBe" - the collision of latin culture, art deco neon and palm trees all stacked up against what is probably the best white sand city beach anywhere in the U.S.
3. Key West - getting here through the Florida Keys is definitely half the fun! The south tip of Hwy 1 is blessed with a colorful Old Town that will have you people-watching for hours, and an atmosphere that feels more Caribbean than American! Romantic Orlando
