Coastal Biplane
Better known as the Spirit of 30A, the Coastal Biplane was only built in 2010, even though the Ferrari-red craft reflects the design, look, and feel of a classic 1930s biplane aircraft. The open cockpit of the Waco YMF-5 biplane seats the pilot and two side-by-side passengers – perfect for a romantic flight. Look down to catch glimpses of land and sea, and the creatures that inhabit it. Opt for a short 20-minute cruise or choose one of their packages that offer time in the sky with your sweetheart.
Dune Lakes
Head to a place as unique as your love this Valentine’s Day. Florida is one of just two states in the U.S., and five total places around the world, where coastal dunes are a natural geographic feature. These lakes are typically shallow, irregularly shaped permanent bodies of water. The typically brackish and dark-colored water is due the unique mix of saltwater and freshwater sources. Rent a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, purchase a combo freshwater/saltwater fishing license, or just relax and enjoy the day at the water’s edge with the one you love.
Snorkel and SCUBA Tours
Tap one of the many companies along 30A for tours that extend your Valentine’s Day water activities below the water. You’ll get close to bottlenose dolphins, manatees, rays, sea turtles a variety of fish species, even sharks! Ask about daytime or sunset tours, as well as gear rental for when the two of you have built your confidence and want to dive or snorkel on your own itinerary. Keep in mind you must be certified before attempting any SCUBA diving on your own.

Private Catamaran Cruise
For some private, romantic time on the water with your sweetheart, set sail to soak up the sun on a daytime or sunset sail in a catamaran.
