7.  Key West, Florida

 

Key West is the furthest south you can get away from it all without leaving your automobile. Situated 90 miles from Cuba, this reputed tourist destination can still be an exotic, romantic spot. Highlights here include Duval Street, the Ernest Hemingway House and Museum, and the Southernmost Point Buoy and Historic Marker. Sample some Key Lime Pie, visit the Key West Lighthouse for a fun photo op and see the sunset at Malloy Square too.

8.  Charleston, South Carolina

 

Historic, charming Charleston offers couples much to see and do. Start with a historic walking tour. The lovely colors and classic architecture of places such as Rainbow Row will transport you back in time.

If you prefer fun in the sun, this beach-adjacent location includes Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island, and the exceptional Isle of Palms. Make reservations ahead of time for a romantic dinner at one of the area’s highly-rated restaurants such as FIG.
