Couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on Holden Beach

Earlier in the day, stop by a local store, like Lighthouse Gifts or Saltwater Shanty, to purchase the perfect picnic basket; grab your cheeses, bread, grapes, and wine with Food Lion to Go and/or KD Morris Art Gallery & Wine Shop. Pack the basket with the goodies, tumblers from the Shanty or Junebugs, a beach blanket, and maybe even battery-operated candles. About 30-45 minutes before sunset, head down to the beach, hand-in-hand with your year-round valentine, spread the blanket and enjoy the best view around of the spectacular sunset. Be sure to snap pictures and selfies to frame later.

As the sun is setting, enjoy a stroll down the shoreline into the brilliant sky followed by an evening of sharing your hearts and dreams with one another.

Local Holden Beach Wine Tasting

Clear your calendars one afternoon for a fun adventure at a local winery. Make reservations at Silver Coast Winery and a nice restaurant for a memorable evening. 

Head over to the winery in the afternoon to enjoy a leisurely tour and wine tasting. Conclude with a visit to their onsite gift shop.

Then enjoy a wonderful dinner at nearby Oyster Rock, Boundary House, or the Grapevine Restaurant and Lounge. When you drive back over the bridge to Holden Beach and soak in that phenomenal view, a moonlight walk on Holden Beach would be the perfect ending to a perfect date!

Romantic Sunset Cruise
