Top 5 Date Spots in Bal Harbour

1) Spread your toes on the sand at Bal Harbour Beach 

Bal Harbour Beach, Bal Harbour, FL 33154

Are you ready to start the PERFECT date with some sun, sand, and sea?

As most of you know, there's always a jaw-droppingly beautiful beach in almost every corner of sunny Florida, and Bal Harbour is no different, albeit Bal Harbour Beach is considered a quiet and relaxing spot of sand compared to Miami Beach's lively, electrifying swirl, despite being minutes away.

At Bal Harbour Beach, dunes and paths are well-maintained, with charming landscaping throughout its perimeter, exuding a posh, exclusive, laid-back, and family-friendly vibe altogether.

Although it's a public beach, there are no public facilities or lifeguards on Bal Harbour Beach, apart from the ones available through Bal Harbour's upscale resorts, and as you can imagine, it all comes with a price.

Of course, it doesn't take away from the fact that beach dates are ALWAYS an effortless way to impress your partner, and in a LUXE community like Bal Harbour, your (not so) ordinary escapade at Bal Harbour Beach is bound to exceed expectations!

2) Marvel at the unique beauty of Bal Harbour Shops

A 500,000-square-foot, open-air shopping mall anchored by famous department stores, with over a hundred fashion design shops (Chanel, Prada, and Gucci, among others), salons, and chic boutiques, most consider Bal Harbour Shops on par to strolling along Rodeo Drive, the streets of Milan, London, Paris, or New York!

But if you think shopping is the only thing to look forward to at Bal Harbour Shops, you're getting the wrong idea!

A 'smorgasbord' of eats, rotating art exhibits, cozy cafes, scrumptious desserts, and more — Bal Harbour Shops fill your itinerary with fun activities, sights to see, and new experiences to share with your beau!

4) Let the cash flow for an unforgettable dinner spread at Carpaccio

Cap off an elegant day out in Bal Harbour with a luxe spread of your favorite Italian dishes at Carpaccio, one of Bal Harbour's famous Italian bistros!  

As its name suggests, Carpaccio is known for razor-thin salmon filets served in many different ways, so expect a wide array of salmon entrees alongside other classic Italian creations to make you drool!

We're talking fresh, expertly cooked lobsters served with clams, mussels, pasta al dente, with a touch of tomato, spicy or medium spicy, and more! 

And if your date's counting calories, you're in the right place! 

Carpaccio has tons of vegetable dishes to keep that smile on her face!

Have your meal served at Carpaccio's sleek dining room, or arrive early to score a coveted table on the palm-fringed patio, where you can watch the parade of exotic cars and fashionistas sashaying in and out of the shops.

There's nothing that says "I love you" more than a sophisticated dining experience at Carpaccio!
