There's no question that spending time with your significant other is an opportunity to create some truly unforgettable memories. One way to do that is to enjoy a romantic date at Spa Beach Park and renting a paddleboat for a splashy excursion. This park is located at the base of St. Petersburg Pier and is a popular site for gatherings and events. So grab your picnic basket and suntan lotion and spend some amusing, enjoyable moments with the one you love.

Pirates of every shape, size and color descend on St. Petersburg's Vinoy Park every November for the Florida Pirate Festival. This event showcases various forms of interactive theater that celebrate the legendary Caribbean pirate tradition. The park becomes overrun with all things pirate, but also manages to include music, rides, comedy, cannons, storytelling, artisan crafts, nighttime fire shows and great food as well as a plethora of pirates!

Want to spend a day at the beach without fighting the crowds? Then make Sand Key Park your destination for the day. These relatively quiet beach surroundings are as beautiful as they are relaxing. Beachcombers, surfers, and sun worshipers all enjoy the natural amenities of Sand Key, but the man-made amenities like picnic tables, restrooms and lifeguard stations are quite nice, as well.

Nature often offers us several unforgettable scenarios that we tend to miss. But Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island are are both off the coast from the city of Dunedin, Florida and offer a superb getaway for relaxing on the beach. And, you can even take a bigger plunge on its shores as the area is quite popular for weddings on its beaches. The nearby Honeymoon Pavilion offers an excellent menu for your post-ceremony reception. See why so many couples have exchanged their vows here and all agree that life is a beach!
