Whether you\u2019ve been with your boo for decades or days, we could all use a romantic getaway. There\u2019s nothing sexier than shedding those sweaters and having a little fun in the sun. This winter, grab your beau and head south for the ultimate Valentine\u2019s Day in the continental United State\u2019s southernmost city, Key West.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The popular Florida destination has long drawn LGBT travelers attracted to the city\u2019s weather and uniquely welcoming culture<\/a>. (Its motto is \u201cOne Human Family.\u201d) Key West offers a plethora of delicious dining, pulsating nightlife and a charming historic streetscape for any visitor, but there\u2019s plenty to plan for couples<\/a> to enjoy together.<\/p>\n

Follow the foolproof plan below for an unforgettable Valentine\u2019s Day in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Fury Water Adventures<\/a> offers special Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a> tandem parasailing and sunset sails that include champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. If that\u2019s not intimate enough, leave your Speedo behind for an adventure with Blu Q<\/a>, the longest-running all-gay<\/a> charter. They offer an all-male<\/a>, clothing-optional snorkel and sandbar adventure to soak up all that sun without any of the tan lines.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve flaunted your beach bod, indulge your appetite with some of the island\u2019s outstanding culinary attractions. Get your reservations in early for a romantic evening at Louie\u2019s Backyard<\/a>. Enjoy a romantic meal on the multi-level deck with outstanding views of the water. Save room for a slice of their exceptional key lime pie, made with a ginger snap crust. You also can\u2019t go wrong with a sunset view at Hot Tin Roof<\/a>, the eclectic menu of Tempt<\/a> at the Saint Hotel or the white tablecloth elegance at the Grand Caf\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those feeling particularly naughty, you can skip dinner entirely and head straight for dessert at the cheekily named Better Than Sex<\/a>. If the decadent desserts, like the Cookie Nookie Pie and Tongue Bath Truffle, don\u2019t get you in the mood, the romantic atmosphere certainly will.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

After dessert, grab your lover by the hand and check out a show. There are nightly drag shows at Aqua<\/a> (featuring the Aquanettes), or catch a performance from the 801 Girls<\/a> (led by the iconic queen, Sushi<\/a>) at the 801 Upstairs Cabaret. You can also see drag and comedy performances at the Crystal Room at La Te Da<\/a>, including Christopher Peterson\u2019s live<\/a>-singing celebrity homage, Eyecons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still looking for a nightcap, there are plenty of gay<\/a> bars to choose from. Bobby\u2019s Monkey Bar<\/a> is a laid-back local watering hole with a real neighborhood vibe. All the bears, otters, wolves and other hirsute creatures tend to gather at 1 Saloon<\/a>, a favorite among bears and the leather community. Just across the street, you and your man<\/a> can start heating things up at Bourbon Street Pub<\/a>, a cruisier destination with a clothing-optional Garden Bar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The fun doesn\u2019t have to end when you decide to head in for the night. There are several gay<\/a> guesthouses to choose from, ranging from mild to wild. Alexander\u2019s Guesthouse<\/a> caters to both gay<\/a> and lesbian<\/a> travelers, while the all-male<\/a> Equator Resort<\/a> is proudly clothing-optional and includes 11 complimentary adult channels in each room. Guests can ratchet up the luxury and the lust even more at Island House<\/a>, another all-male<\/a>, clothing-optional resort with heated pool, steam room, video<\/a> lounge and more on site.<\/p>\n

Key West may encourage you to \u201ccome as you are,\u201d but after spending Valentine\u2019s Day on the island, you\u2019ll be leaving a little more in love.<\/p>\n
