Sunset Beach Walk

Spend Valentine’s Day on Alabama's Beaches

Becky Beall
January 9, 2023

Gulf Shores and Orange Beach pose as the perfect oasis for romance, with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters creating an atmosphere of blissful serenity. Milder temperatures, exquisite dining options, and nature’s beauty create a Valentine's Day experience like no other here on the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Turquoise Place Condo
1. Choose a Room with a View

You and your valentine deserve a room with a view during your romantic beach getaway. Luckily, February is the off-season, which means great deals on places to stay. This is the time of year to splurge and get the room you have always wanted for your couple's vacation, from beachside cottages and luxury hotels to resorts and roomy condos! Browse lodging specials and find the perfect place to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Then Lodge Perch
2. Experience Fine Dining on the Beach

Valentine's Day always includes a delicious meal, and what's better than a memorable meal at one of the beach's finest restaurants? Enjoy fresh Gulf seafood, mouthwatering steak, or handcrafted cocktails. On top of the delectable food and drinks, you’ll enjoy waterfront views, live music, and stunning sunsets when you dine on the beach. Check out all of the fine dining restaurants on the beach and get ready for incredible cuisine.

Kiva Dunes Massage
3. Book a Couple's Massage

Treat yourselves to a little TLC while you're on your couple’s vacation, and opt for a relaxing massage at one of the many amazing  spas in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. Choose from a full-service menu and enjoy a morning, afternoon, or a day of self-indulgence, including spa and/or beauty salon services for you and your valentine! 

Sunny Lady Dolphin Cruise
4. Do Something Different

The beach may be a regular destination spot for you, but that doesn't mean it has to be a typical vacation. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer plenty of unique activities and attractions that will make your visit memorable. Explore the waters on a guided dolphin and wildlife kayak tour, meet and greet some of the furry residents at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, or indulge in an intimate, upscale dining experience with an expertly prepared menu. Check out all the signature experiences offered and create an unforgettable Valentine's Day trip.

The Wharf Ferris Wheel at Night
5. Catch a Ride on the Ferris Wheel 

The Ferris Wheel at The Wharf is one of the tallest in the southeast and an iconic spot in Orange Beach. Created by Italy's Technical Park, the ride is more than 112 feet tall and provides unbeatable views of the area. Of course, the best time to catch a ride is at night, as the Ferris Wheel lights up and creates quite a spectacle. Snuggle up next to your partner as you admire Orange Beach from above.

Pottery Class Coastal Arts Center
6. Take a Pottery Class Together 

Whether you have a knack for artistic endeavors or not, a pottery class is a fantastic couple's activity. At the Clay Studio at the Coastal Arts Center, you'll learn how to hand-build a piece, throw on the pottery wheel, and glaze your work. Not only will you have a blast, but you'll also come home with a handmade souvenir of your trip away with your beloved valentine.

Chocolate Corner Gulf Shores
7. Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

You can’t let Valentine’s Day pass by without treating you and your honey to something sweet! Luckily, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach boast plenty of spots to pick up chocolates, candies, and desserts. Sip on a massive milkshake from The Yard Milkshake Bar, grab a box of homemade chocolates from The Chocolate Corner, or indulge in the delicious beignets at Mo’Bay Beignet Co. No matter what kind of sugary treat you’re after, you’re sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Orange Beach Sunrise
8. Catch the Sunset or Sunrise

Sometimes the things that cost the least leave the largest impressions, and the sunsets and sunrises on the beach are truly mesmerizing. Nothing is more romantic than holding hands and strolling the beach awaiting a stunning sunrise, or enjoying a cocktail at dinner and catching the sunset. Don't neglect the simple moments that will become lasting memories. They will always be your favorites.

 

Treat you and your partner to a one-of-a-kind getaway on the beach and start planning the perfect Valentine's Day trip.
