Top 5 Date Spots Near Sunrise Harbour

1) Lay out the perfect morning spread at Ingraham Park 

4751 Ingraham Terrace, Coral Gables, FL 33133

For a date that's low on effort but high on romance, set up a lazy, sun-drenched morning picnic at Ingraham Park, just 3 minutes from Sunrise Harbour. 

Tucked away in Coral Gables, this hidden green escape is the perfect spot to slow down, sip coffee, and soak in the scenery — all while earning major bonus points for originality.

Sure, it's not the biggest park in town, but what it lacks in size, Ingraham Park makes up for in pure charm. 

Picture lush greenery, quiet walking trails, and a European-inspired fountain out of a storybook (seriously—it resembles the ones at Spain's Palace of Alhambra).

But the ULTIMATE scene-stealer is Ingraham Park's bold red bridge! 

Linking the park to the Commodore Bike Trail, this iconic bridge makes for a stunning backdrop for mid-stroll photos, cute couple selfies, or just a quiet moment taking it all in.

This morning date is as easy as grabbing your favorite pastries, a couple of cappuccinos, and a blanket.

No reservations, no rush — just a peaceful morning, great company, and maybe a few too many "candid" shots before digging in.

2) Immerse in a day of creativity and connection at the Lowe Art Museum 

1301 Stanford Dr, Miami, FL 33146

Sure, coffee dates are great — but have you ever wandered through centuries of artistic genius, debating whether a sculpture is profound or only oddly shaped? 

If you're looking for a date in equal parts culture, conversation, and just the right amount of "pretending to know things," then Lowe Art Museum is calling your name, and it's just 9 minutes from Sunrise Harbour, ready to turn a simple afternoon into an artsy adventure.

Founded in 1950 through the generosity of Joe and Emily Lowe, Lowe Art Museum isn't just South Florida's first art museum but a time capsule of human creativity. 

With over 19,000 pieces spanning 5,000 years, this museum has everything from ancient artifacts to Renaissance masterpieces and even mind-bending contemporary glass art.

It's an elite date strategy — one minute, you're admiring a medieval painting, and the next has you in a deep philosophical debate about an abstract installation that looks suspiciously like your laundry pile. 

Lowe Art Museum is an easy way to spark conversation, show off your observational skills, or fake your way through an art critique with confidence.

So, if your ideal date involves a little sophistication, a little humor, and just enough mystery to keep things interesting, it's the place to be. 

After all, the best dates aren't just about where you go— they should be about how much fun you have figuring it all out together.

3) Give your date a "sweet kick" with a slice at Keik Bakeshop Coral Gables  

2345 Douglas Rd, Miami, FL 33145

Some dates call for grand gestures, and others only need the perfect slice of cake, a cozy café, and a little Parisian charm — the exact formula you'll find at Keik Bakeshop, a blush-toned dreamland just 10 minutes from Sunrise Harbour.

Nicknamed "Pink Paradise" on Instagram, this Venezuelan-inspired café turns every visit into a fairytale moment. Think soft pastels, floral-covered ceilings, striped walls, and vintage fringed umbrellas — a setting so romantic and effortlessly photogenic that your only option is to stay a little longer!

But Keik Bakeshop's "real" love language? The desserts!

This bakeshop is a masterclass in all things sweet, offering perfectly frosted cakes, airy Pavlovas, golden flaky pies, and delicate bite-sized treats that are almost too pretty to eat (the keyword is "almost"). 

Pair your pick with a handcrafted coffee or an ice-cold tea infusion, and turn your "quick dessert stop" into a full-on date experience in a snap!

Whether indulging in a sugar-fueled escape, making a date extra special, or just finding an excuse to twirl under the cherry blossoms, Keik Bakeshop proves that some places are made for romance — and second slices.

4) Turn up the heat with a dinner of spice and everything nice at Bombay Darbar 

2901 Florida Ave, Miami, FL 33133

If you want to know someone, see how they handle spice at Bombay Darbar, just 9 minutes from Sunrise Harbour, an Indian dining spot that offers dinner with a dose of heat, a side of Bollywood drama, and a strong chance of bonding over who reaches for the water first.

Step inside and let the rich aromas of Indian spices set the mood while warm lighting, ornate décor, and Bollywood flicks on the screen transport you straight to the streets of Mumbai — minus the jet lag. 

It's vibrant, energetic, and chaotic enough to keep things interesting!

Now, onto the real test: the food. 

Will you play it safe with butter chicken and fluffy garlic naan, or go all in with fiery lamb vindaloo and curry so rich it deserves a trust fund? 

Bombay Darbar's spice levels range from "pleasantly warm" to "Do we need a fire extinguisher?" so choose wisely — this could be the difference between impressing your date and crying into your dal makhani.

Not ready to risk it all? The Mango Lassi has your back—sweet, creamy, and possibly the best life decision you'll make all night.

At Bombay Darbar, dinner isn't just about food but an experience filled with bold spices, vibrant energy, and a sprinkle of culinary thrill. 

So go ahead and take the spice challenge, sip that Mango Lassi, and turn an ordinary night into a date to remember.

3391 Pan American Dr, Miami, FL 33133

Set the scene for romance without even trying at Bayshore Club Bar & Grill, an open-air gem along Biscayne Bay, just 10 minutes from Sunrise Harbour. 

One glance at the ambiance, and you'll get it — sprawling outdoor seating, cozy fire pits, and a spacious bar that gives you the perfect excuse to linger a little longer, complete with an unrivaled lineup of cocktails!

Whether you're up for a round of craft cocktails, a platter of fish tacos, or just to soak in the skyline while pretending not to check your reflection in the bay, Bayshore Club makes any night feel like an occasion.

Relaxed, scenic, and effortlessly stylish, Bayshore Club proves that the best date nights don't need a plan — just a great drink, good company, and a waterfront view worth toasting.
