A visit to the boardwalk in Ocean City is the perfect choice for couples who enjoy a beach setting and outdoor recreation. From activities such as fishing, boating and swimming to strolling through the many shops and enjoying fine dining or a drink at one of the bars, the boardwalk at Ocean City has it all. Couples can also take in attractions at the boardwalk such as the Jolly Roger at the Pier, Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum and Ocean City Pier Games.
Spending a weekend at a bed and breakfast is another romantic option for couples and Maryland is home to many of these establishments such as the 1840s Carrollton Inn in Baltimore (1840scarrolltoninn.com). Couples can choose from a variety of romantic packages such as the dinner for two delivered to you package, the soothing spa package, the romance and roses package and the all inclusive romantic get-away package. Luxuries in the rooms include large four-poster beds, candles, antique furnishings and fireplaces.
The charm and ambiance of a French restaurant is a wonderfully romantic way to spend an evening. Ellicott City in Maryland is home to Tersiguel's French Country Restaurant (tersiguels.com), located inside a 19th-century French country home. Diners are treated to a romantic dinner for two featuring cuisine such as filet mignon, escargot, oysters-on-the-half-shell, house-made sausage, braised sweetbreads and sauteed veal tenderloin. Desserts consist of decadent selections including chocolate mousse, traditional caramelized custard and Crepes Suzette.
Nothing is as romantic as a carriage ride through historic streets and towns, and Annapolis Carriage (annapoliscarriage.com) offers just that. Couples ride in a vintage carriage, getting a feel of the days of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, while their very own coachman points out some 300 years of Annapolis history. For special romantic events such as wedding and engagements, couples can also have the carriage decorated to match the occasion.
