4) Amelia Island, Florida
Amelia Island State Park is the most romantic getaway for couples who desire nothing more than a weekend-long tete-a-tete. With beaches, parks, historic buildings and shabby chic guesthouses as far as the eye can see, it’s as though Amelia Island was designed with romance in mind. One of the few places in the US where you can still ride horses on the beach, Amelia Island is all charm. Book yourself into one of the many Victorian-era mansions converted into historic inns,get cosy around the fireplace, relax in a deep old fashioned tub and enjoy the laid-back elegance of a four poster bed. Fishing and golfing are common pastimes on Amelia Island and there’s no shortage of friendly little eateries all around the island for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Top marks for being gay-friendly too.
