Fall is here and there is no better time of year to get cozy with that special someone. Southern Hillsborough and South Shore offer numerous date night activities for you to enjoy, all within a short drive or Uber ride from Sereno. Step out of your routine and spend some quality time with significant other – after all, fall is the perfect time to snuggle up!

Apollo Beach is just down the road, and it’s the perfect place to put on a warm sweater, stroll the beach hand-in-hand with your special someone and enjoy fine waterfront dining. Check out Circles Bar & Grill at Lands End for a spectacular waterfront meal and romantic sunset view.

Old Castle Tavern, in Ruskin, offers you and your date a taste of Germany without ever leaving the area! Enjoy a round (or two) of German beer served in traditional stein glasses with Berlin style sausages or potato pancakes. You will no doubt have a fun (and silly) date amongst the German decor and Polka music.

Little Manatee River State Park has camping available for this perfect fall weather. Enjoy a night under the stars to share a new kind of adventure with your loved one. Build a fire to cozy up next to, enjoy the sounds of the night and snuggle up in a tent with a flashlight to spend a romantic evening together. Date night doesn’t always have to be dinner and a movie. Little Manatee State Park offers you the perfect escape to kindle the fire – and a little romance!
