Things You'll Need:

Bring candles and lotions from home to use in your hotel room.
Ask the hotel to have flowers or a bottle of champagne waiting in the room for a nice surprise!

Step 1

Where To Stay - Make a reservation at a hotel along the Seawall and book a room with an ocean view. Request the highest floor possible. Staring out at the tranquil beauty of the sea while watching the gentle waves lap up on the beach will certainly set the tone for a romantic weekend.
Step 2

Catch The Sunset - Head over to the Moody Gardens Hotel and take the elevator to the top floor. Here you'll find their lounge with floor to ceiling windows all the way across. Order your favorite beverages and then take in the stunning island views. Make sure to arrive just in time to catch the best view of the sunset on the island.
Step 3

Dinner – Ready for a romantic dinner? There are many fabulous and intimate restaurants to choose from in Galveston. You could enjoy dinner at Shearn's at the Moody Gardens Hotel after sunset drinks. For spectacular views while dining on the water, choose Fisherman's Wharf or The Olympia Grill at Pier 21. If you're in the mood for Italian, try Luigi's or head to a favorite of the locals, DiBella's Restaurant on Avenue P.
Step 4

After Dinner – After dinner, you might want to put on your dancing shoes and head to Yaga's on the Strand for some live music and livelier drinks. For a more mellow evening, head to H2O, an outdoor bar at The San Luis Resort. The moonlight, comfortable couches and fire pits will certainly enhance your romantic mood.
Step 5

Good Morning – Rise and shine and get ready for a memorable day! Begin the day with a delicious brunch including mimosas at the Hotel Galvez, sipping cappuccinos at Mod Coffee House downtown, or with a light, but delicious breakfast from the Sunflower Bakery.
Step 6

Savor Each Moment Together - Browse the shops along the Strand and be sure to stop at La King' s to buy some sweets for your sweet. For an invigorating experience, take surf lessons together and catch some waves. Rediscover your romance and relax with a couples massage from a local spa. Head to the beach at the end of the Seawall and stroll hand-in-hand or look for seashells and shark's teeth together. What an exquisite souvenir to remember your special weekend!
