The Best Date-Night Ideas in Fort Lauderdale and Miami

Skip dinner and a movie: a top-down cruise from Las Olas to the beach.

Turn an ordinary night into an adventure

This is South Florida, and you can do better than dinner and a movie. Between Fort Lauderdale and Miami you have waterfront dining, neon-lit boulevards, rooftop bars and miles of coastline made for cruising. A Polaris Slingshot ties it together: open-air, head-turning and effortlessly romantic, it turns the drive between stops into the best part of the evening.

Start with a sunset cruise

Skip the crowded boat and make the sunset your own. Point a Slingshot toward the coast and cruise A1A as the sky turns pink and gold. The open-air seating means nothing between you and the view, just warm breeze, ocean glimpses and your favorite person riding shotgun.

Dinner on the water in Fort Lauderdale

Las Olas Boulevard offers a walkable stretch of restaurants, cafes and galleries, while the nearby Isles and Intracoastal serve up waterfront dining with yachts drifting past. Our Fort Lauderdale pickup at the GALLERYone Hotel puts you right in the heart of it.

Miami: Ocean Drive and Brickell

Roll slowly down Ocean Drive through the Art Deco district, where pastel hotels and neon signs create a backdrop straight out of a movie. For a more upscale night, head to Brickell for skyline views and rooftop cocktails. Wynwood is a fun pre-dinner detour, its murals glowing at golden hour. See our Miami rentals.

Date-night ideas at a glance

Pause along palm-lined A1A for a golden-hour photo. Stroll Hollywood’s Broadwalk for ice cream after dinner. Finish with a rooftop nightcap in Brickell. Then take the long way home, because city lights hit differently from an open-air Slingshot.

Why the Slingshot makes the night

Part sports car, part motorcycle, fully automatic. You don’t need a motorcycle license in Florida, just a valid driver’s license and a driver 21 or older. Every rental includes full insurance, unlimited miles and two DOT-approved full-face helmets. Delivery is available in select areas if you want it waiting for you. See our date-night rentals.
