August is for Lovers: Celebrate Romance Awareness Month in Galveston

August is Romance Awareness Month, which means it’s time to turn up the heat (and not just because we’re in Texas). Whether you’re falling for someone new or keeping the spark alive with your long-time love, Galveston is full of dreamy ways to remind your sweetheart just how much they mean to you. Check out some of our favorite date ideas to add some extra romance to your August.

1) Uncork Romance at a Wine Bar~ Cheers to Love

Nothing says “we’re fancy now” like a wine date. Houston has some truly fantastic wine bars that are perfect spots to uncork some romance with your sweetheart. We love Hendley Wine Co., The Boldthouse, Chelsea Wine Bar. No matter which wine bar you pick, this is a smooth way to elevate any weeknight into a grape love story.

2) Beach Bliss~ Sea, Sand, & Sweet Nothings

If you aren’t spending some quality time with your sweetheart on one of Galveston’s beautiful beaches, you are doing it wrong. Pack a picnic, grab some sunscreen, pull out your towels and swimsuits and get to the beach for a little relaxation and fun in the sun. Bonus points if you make a sandcastle together!

3) Craft Some Romance~ Couples Who Craft Together, Stay Together

A craft date is a great way to make more than just memories with your sweetheart on date night. Some of our favorite craft spots for a date are Clay Cup Studios, The Shard Yard, and The Craft Factory. Pick a spot, pick a craft, and get ready to make some art and memories together! Who is the craftiest in the couple? Only one way to find out!

 

4) Tee-rific Fun~ Caddie Up Cutie

We love a golf date! Golf dates are a great way to add a little fun and a touch of competition to your relationship. See which of you is the king or queen of the green. We love Top Golf for driving romance and Magic Carpet Mini Golf and Pirates Treasure Adventure Golf for putting around.

5) Book a Baecation~ Getaway for a Little Romance

A baecation is a great way to add some extra romance to your relationship. Want to stay in Galveston, we don’t blame you! Book a romantic stay at Hotel Lucine, Harbor House Hotel, or The Mansard House. Or check out a cozy bed & breakfast or guest house. We love The Lasker Inn, Coppersmith Inn B&B, Galveston East End Guest House, and The Bungalows at Pier 6 . If you want to get out of Galveston and go on an adventure, plan a baecation to one of our other Texas Romantic Spots like AustinFredericksburgFort WorthWacoSan Antonio, or Houston.

Romance isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action. So whether you’re planning a grand gesture or a simple moment that makes their heart skip, Galveston has all the swoon-worthy spots you need to make August unforgettable. Take the time, make the effort, and show your person just how lucky you are to love (and be loved) in this beautiful city. Now go out there and make August a month of romance!
