Top Spots To Rekindle The Romance In Miami


Need a date night? Now Miami is more of a party town, but that doesn't mean couples miss out on places to reignite that spark with their special someone. These places promise to rekindle that romance and create memories you and your honey will surely hang on to.

It's a little cliché, but nothing is sexier than the beach. The sand between your toes and the waves crashing against your bare feet have a way of reminding you that you're alive and the blue-green sea encourages you to appreciate the beauty in the world. Take a walk by the seaside, rent a bike, ride on the boardwark or just take a dip. Stay after dusk to watch the moon rise over the ocean. Finish the night off with an outdoor lantern-lit romantic seafood dinner at Casa Tua.

Later, take a short ride over to Red Fish Grill and dine under white-light decorated palm trees overlooking a spectacular waterfront scene.
