It’s easy to fall into the same routine of work, dinner, and Netflix, but Charleston is a city full of date night options. Whether you’re a new couple who is exploring the city together or a married couple of many years looking for a day of relaxation, we’ve got a date idea here for you. Here are four must-do “date nights”.
The Adventurous Couple
What better way to spend some quality time together than taking an adventurous weekend getaway to Edisto Beach State Park? Grab your tent, a sleeping bag, and enjoy a weekend “roughing it” at Edisto Beach. During the day you can bike, fish, swim, kayak, and roam the trails, and at night you can relax by the fire and watch the sunset together.
The Foodie Couple
There’s no better place to go on a date and explore the culinary scene than in Charleston. Whether you want to enjoy some of the best food Charleston has to offer or learn some tips to take home, the Holy City has a ton of options. Our choice for best date night? Enjoy a steak from Halls Chophouse, grab some drinks from Hotel Bennett’s champagne bar, Camellias, then finish the night off with dessert from Kaminsky’s. If you’re looking for something more interactive, you and your bae can take a cooking class at Zero George Street and take your tips home to the kitchen.
The Laid Back Couple
We totally get it, binge-watching Netflix in bed is hard to beat but Charleston has plenty of date activities for those couples who want to relax but are looking to get out of the house. Head to the beach for a relaxing day and grab some drinks from a nearby restaurant like Taco Boy at Folly Beach or Mex1 at Sullivan’s. Or splurge a little and head to the spa at Hotel Bennett for ultimate relaxation.
The Curious Couple
Are you and your SO always looking to learn something new? These date night ideas mix romance, fun, and education. Learn how to make candles together for your next date night at Candlefish’s candle making workshop or pick a class to take at AR Workshop in Mount Pleasant and DIY, together.
Whatever you and your date choose to do, have a blast.
