     Find block after block of romantic date spots surrounding two residential pockets minutes from the heart of South Miami, High Pines and Ponce Davis, your suburban respite in the bustling Metropolis! 

    A little hamlet between South Miami and the Ponce Davis area, High Pines is smack in the center of the City Pleasant, boasting wide, tree-shaded boulevards and neighborhood residential streets.

    Meanwhile, Ponce Davis is a suburban pocket within an already-notable surrounding area, tucked away from the bustling metropolis but close to downtown Miami and the financial district. 

    While these two areas are considered residential hotspots rather than tourist destinations, you'll find your schedule filled to the brim with their convenient proximity to top Miami communities — two worthy destinations for a ROMANTIC RENDEZVOUS just minutes from the heart of South Miami! 

     Get ready to fall in love all over again! 

     Here are the top five date spots near High Pines and Ponce Davis. 

     1)  Welcome a brand-new day with lush nature and art displays at Dante Fascell Park  

     8600 Red Rd, South Miami, FL 33143 

    Spend the wee hours of the morning surrounded by art and breathtaking views at one of South Miami's largest parks, Dante Fascell Park, a crowd-favorite for couples looking to get up close and personal with nature's beauty — and everything in between!

    We're talking about 7.73 acres of green space comprised of outdoor sports recreational areas, a beautiful sculpture garden, and lush mature trees, serving as an urban paradise amidst the bustle of metro Miami, where you'll find a much-needed respite from the city's bustle.

    Apart from immaculate scenery, Dante Fascell Park offers a trail around the sculpture garden for a quick stroll, picnic tables for intimate gatherings, and an expansive outdoor space for fun under the sun! 

    Other recreational activities in Dante Fascell Park include six clay tennis courts, outdoor fitness equipment, a sand volleyball court, a gated playground and tot lot, and a basketball half-court!

    Undoubtedly a dreamy park to visit when in High Pines and Ponce Davis!

     2) Put a smile on her face with an Insta-worthy cafe experience at Pura Vida South Miami 

     6022 S Dixie Hwy, South Miami, FL 33143 

    Put a smile on her face by treating her to a healthy BREAKFAST spread and a dreamy Boho chic ambiance to boot at South Miami's Pura Vida, a "healthy" cafe paradise worth a spot on your IG feed, only a 4-minute drive from High Pines and Ponce Davis.

    Offering an extensive menu of all-day breakfast delights, salads, baked treats, hearty bowls, wraps & sandwiches, Acai bowls, and more, served within a signature boho-chic setting, Pura Vida is the perfect definition of healthy eating with STYLE!

    Carrying their famous "health is wealth" theme over to their specialty coffee, Pura Vida also has more health-conscious versions for coffee lovers, offering options like whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, and organic sweeteners to replace usual ingredients.

    Too pumped up for caffeine? 

    Try Pura Vida's Iced Matcha Latte or their Iced Spiced Chai Tea Latte to wind you down.

    Yes, folks, Pura Vida transcends your ordinary cafe and brings you closer to the heart of the "apple of your eye!"

     3) Explore acres of South Florida's natural beauty at Pinecrest Gardens    

     11000 SW 57th Ave, Pinecrest, FL 33156 

    Do you want to get that sweet "YES" you've been anticipating?

    Surround her with flowers and South Florida's natural beauty at Pinecrest Gardens, only a 5-minute drive from High Pines and Ponce Davis!

    Encompassing around 14 acres of lush botanical gardens and fun attractions, Pinecrest Gardens showcases South Florida's natural beauty, boasting gardens and forested areas of native cypress sloughs, tropical hardwood hammocks, and riverine landscapes.

    Pinecrest Gardens also has various specialty gardens (including a desert garden), more than 1,000 varieties of native and non-native tropical flora, and many notable natural features, including remnants of the Snapper Creek streambed, a 30,000-year-old solution hole, a piece of cypress hammock once connected to Big Cypress National Preserve, a 100-year-old Cocoplum, and various other mature landmark trees.

    Aside from this, Pinecrest Gardens features tranquil paths that wind through the botanical garden, a meadowed lake viewing area (Swan Lake) with resident wildlife, and fish-populated waterways — a must-visit if you wish to connect and interact with nature!
