At the end of your indulgent spa experience, you’ll emerge feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to fully embrace the romantic moments that await on Dauphin Island!
Dine at Local Restaurants
When it comes to dining, there is a treasure trove of local Dauphin Island restaurants to satisfy your cravings. From fresh seafood to mouthwatering steaks, this island has it all. While we can’t pick just one favorite, we do have two spots that are absolute must-tries!
Pirate’s Bar and Grill
In many ways, Pirate’s Bar and Grill is a traditional beachfront restaurant with island-themed cocktails like the spiced-rum-focused “Sinking Ship” and pub grub like burgers and po’boys, a southern specialty.
But its on-site pool, which includes a food and drink menu, sets it apart. For $10 each, you and your significant other can spend the under the sun, cocktail in hand, making it a fun and unique date night you both will love!
Lighthouse Bakery
This charming spot offers a wide array of homemade pastries, cakes, and pies that will satisfy even the sweetest tooth. Picture yourselves sipping on freshly brewed coffee and sharing a mouthwatering slice of coconut cream pie.
Start Valentine’s Day by surprising your partner with a freshly baked treat to begin the day’s adventures. Trust us, it’s a slice of heaven.
Plan Your Visit
From spa days to beach walks and everything in between, Dauphin Island is the perfect place to celebrate your love. And remember, when you book with ACP Vacation Rentals, you’re not just our guests – you’re family!
Night Cap at Carriage House
After a delightful meal, head over to Carriage House for a romantic candlelit drink. This cozy, family-owned establishment is known for its warm hospitality and impressive selection of craft beers, specialty wines, and craft cocktails.
Their Peach Bellini Bushwacker is a Valentine’s Day favorite. It perfectly pairs with any of their Late Night Bites, like a Traditional Formage Board or fan-favorite Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs.
Walk on the Beach
No visit to Dauphin Island would be complete without a romantic walk on the beach. As the sun sets and paints the sky with breathtaking hues, take a leisurely stroll hand-in-hand along the sandy shore. Or take your stroll aboard a Dauphin Island sunset cruise for even more breakthiking views and romantic moments.
