Still searching for the perfect Valentine’s Day plan? Ditch the usual dinner reservation and cook up a day full of adventure, stunning views and a little extra romance. This off-the-beaten-track itinerary is the perfect blend of love, laughter and unforgettable moments.
Ingredients:
1 scenic sunrise hike (the ultimate wake-up call with a view)
1 dreamy beach escape (for that “just the two of us” kind of feeling)
1 long, lazy lunch (because love is best served fresh)
1 sunset picnic (cue the romantic soundtrack)
Method:
1. Start with a sunrise stroll – Take your pick: Coral Beach for a peaceful coastal vibe or Honeyeater Lookout for a view worth the climb. Either way, extra romance points if you bring coffee!
2. Add a beach day – Set sail to Windy Bay, a secret slice of paradise on Haslewood Island, or take the scenic drive to Murray Bay in Bowen for a quiet, crystal-clear escape.
3. Mix in a long lunch – Sip, savour, and soak up the ocean breeze at Montes in Hideaway Bay or enjoy classic charm (and a cold drink) at the Grand View Hotel in Bowen - —because love should always come with good food and great views.
4. Finish with a sunset spread – Unroll a picnic blanket at Airlie Beach Foreshore or Mandalay Jetty, pop some bubbles, and watch the sky put on a show just for you.
Serving suggestion:
Best enjoyed with your favourite person, a chilled drink, and absolutely no plans to rush home.
