ROMANCE & WEDDING local romance
DATE NIGHT
ideas
Date night with a generous serving of local romance
story by Tori Ward, Visit Mississipi Gulf Coast
W ith scenic views, an incredible culinary scene, countless coastal attractions
and a vibrant nightlife, the Mississippi Gulf Coast is ideal for a memorable date night or day. Here are a few
romantic trip ideas for lovebirds of all ages.
Enjoy dinner with a view
Whether you’re looking for fine dining or a more casual setting, there are plenty of Coast restaurants that offer spectacular views. For instance, enjoy dining and an unobstructed coastal view at The Blind Tiger on the beach in Biloxi. Or try Anthony’s Steak and Seafood with a beautiful view overlooking Old Fort Bayou in Ocean Springs.
Watch the sun set during a romantic Coast cruise
Want to plan a date that your sweetie will never forget? Hop aboard one of the Coast boat cruises and discover incredible scenery and coastal wildlife — all while making unforgettable memories. You can even enjoy a private dinner cruise catered by Half Shell Oyster House aboard the North Star Sailing Charters.
Spend a day relaxing at one of our many resort spas
Is relaxation and a day of papering more your style? Lucky for you, there are a variety of world-class spas at several of the Coast casino resorts. Enjoy a relaxing couples massage at the Golden Nugget Spa or lounge and de-stress in the deluxe couples suite at Pure-The Palace spa.
Explore a charming Coastal town
If you’re looking for a fun, yet romantic day out,
you can’t go wrong with exploring one of the quaint towns along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Old Town Bay St. Louis, Downtown Ocean Springs and Downtown Pascagoula all offer endless charm along with several fun activities and attractions to discover.
Picnic on the beach
With twenty-six miles of soft, white sand beaches, there are plenty of spots where you and your date can enjoy a romantic picnic. The smaller coastal communities of Pass Christian and Long Beach offer quieter beaches that are perfect for romantic walks or picnics.
Want something a little more adventurous? Rent a kayak from Everything Kayak and paddle about 10 minutes offshore to Deer Island, located just south of Biloxi, and have a more private beach setting.
Experience coastal nightlife
Nightlife on the Coast can be as exciting or laid back as you’d like. Whether you enjoy an energetic club atmosphere or a more casual beachside bar, there
are tons of fun options to choose from. Let the jazz musicians at 13th St. Jazz Bistro set the mood for your date, or dance the night away at Coast Nightclub at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino.
