The 363 miles of coast features many places for a romantic getaway. See historic Astoria with its waterfront trolley, arts community, and craft breweries. See the seaside at the beach town of Seaside and Cannon Beach with its famous “Haystack Rock.” Other highlights include the Tillamook Cheese Factory, Ecola State Park, and Three Capes Scenic Drive. Catch crabs and cook them up at Kelly’s Brighton Marina then watch the sunset by a beach fire.

16.  Catalina Island, California

 

Looking for a romantic island escape? Catalina or Santa Catalina Island is a rocky, sunny isle situated off the coast in the beautiful Gulf of Santa Catalina. Before things get too “hot and heavy” between you and yours take the guided tour of Avalon, a popular casual food and walking tour. Other activities here include swimming, snorkeling, diving, and wildlife spotting. Need more? Try the zip-lining eco-tour where you will soar 600 feet above sea level.
