Whether you are a new couple looking to explore the Mississippi Gulf Coast, parents struggling to find time for each other, or grandparents celebrating a lifetime of love, a romantic night out should be on your calendar. After a day of shopping in Gulfport, MS, it's time to create the perfect evening itinerary.

THE PERFECT DATE NIGHT IN GULFPORT

TAKE A PHOTO UNDER THE FRIENDSHIP OAK‍

Friendship Oak

Taking a photo under the Friendship Oak is one of the most romantic things to do in Mississippi and an ideal start to the perfect date night. The magnificent live oak tree is over 500 years old. The legend says that anyone who meets under the tree will remain friends for life. We can't think of a better way to start a relationship or celebrate the resilience of a milestone anniversary.

RENEW YOUR RELATIONSHIP OVER A MEMORABLE DINNER‍

Whether you're looking for dinner with a view, the perfect steak, or a taste of local favorites, a romantic setting for two is on tonight's menu. Choose one of these top spots for a romantic dinner.

THE CHIMNEYS

The atmosphere at The Chimneys is sublime. Sit on the covered porch and take in the movie scene view. The Mississippi Sound shimmers beyond a gorgeous canopy of Live Oaks. If the weather is inclement, interior seating by the fire will warm your heart. The Chimney's dinner menu is refined and offers local Mississippi Gulf Coast favorites. Freshly caught seafood is prominently featured. Try the Seafood Gumbo, Chimneys Creole Pasta, or the Trout Meuniere Almondine. The Chimneys offers a full wine, beer, and specialty cocktail menu. Friendly and knowledgeable servers will make sure your date night is memorable.

THE RACK HOUSE STEAK & SPIRITS

Steak Dish from The Rack House Steak and Spirits

The Rack House Steak and Spirits offers made from scratch food and an extensive collection of 30 wines and over 100 bourbons, ryes, scotches, and whiskeys. The menu focuses on choice and prime steaks, lamb, short ribs, and veal, while the decor captures the essence of a rack house, where the focus is on barrels of fabulous libations. Servers make sure you feel like royalty. The perfect way to end your meal is with their creme brulee, which is toasted at your table.

HALF SHELL OYSTER HOUSE OF GULFPORT

For a heavenly taste of New Orleans, head to Half Shell Oyster House of Gulfport. Inspired menu items include Redfish Orleans, Voodoo Chicken Sandwich, and Seafood Stuffed Portabellas. Enjoy Gulf Coast favorites such as Fried Shrimp and Seafood Gumbo. The cocktail menu is unique and divine. Try the Mango Sunset Martini, Cajun Oyster Martini, or Gulf Coast Island Punch. Upscale tavern decor and attentive service complete the romantic package.

CELEBRATE WITH A SUNSET COCKTAIL CRUISE‍

Couple on a romantic date in a cruise

A sunset cruise is one of the most romantic things to do in Mississippi. Take your special partner out and enjoy the evening on the water. Keep one eye out to sea, watching for a pod of friendly dolphins. Snacks, sodas, and a full bar are available onboard for purchase. A DJ spins the best tunes, and the top deck is open for dancing. Grab your partner and have fun, or find a quiet spot to focus on each other. Watch a spectacular sunset over the Mississippi Sound. You'll discover just how many reds, oranges, pinks, and even purples are possible in a Gulf Coast sunset. Soak in the transition from day to night as the Gulfport/Biloxi waterfront comes to life. The waterfront lights turn on and reflect over Mississippi Sound. There's nothing more memorable than a sunset cruise with your special someone.

TREASURE THE MEMORIES‍

A romantic date night on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is the perfect way to connect with your partner and make memories that will last a lifetime.
