History and nature balance out in a most alluring way at the Heritage House in Riverside. This is a great romantic date destination because you will get to gaze upon the 1.3 acres of orange groves as well as various historical pieces that are on display at the nearby Heritage House, a 19th century Victorian home that has been restored to an incredible detail. This home reflects what life was like back in the 1800s, and even then, the reliance on the citrus crops was as significant as it is today. You'll no doubt remember your time here with your date as the area is incredibly picturesque, historic, and uniquely California.

Reading about history is one way to familiarize yourself with the past's most significant moments, but being a part of it will make even more of a lasting impression. That's what you'll experience when you visit the Jensen Alvarado Ranch just outside of Riverside. Upon your arrival, you will encounter costumed interpreters who will guide you through vivid demonstrations of what life was like on a ranch in the late 19th century. You will be a part of the action as you find yourself helping out with such daily farm duties as churning butter or feeding the animals. You can also learn about how much of a challenge farming was back then when you visit the ranch museum that is also located here. This is where you will have a chance to see attractions like antique farm equipment as well as artifacts from the ranch's past.

Bernasconi Beach in Riverside is one of those places that just teems with beauty everywhere you look. The stunning sand, the beautiful dunes and of course, the mesmerizing surf make it easy to take the plunge and enjoy a day of water recreation activities like surfing and swimming, and then sunbathe on the beach afterward.
