2. Dinner Date With A View

Dinner at Rick Shores will award you and your date with stunning Burleigh beachfront views. The celebrated pan Asian restaurant has a relaxed vibe, and is a fave with locals and tourists alike. 

Rick Shores is famous for their bug burgers. But trust us, the rest of the menu is just as delectable. 

Afterwards, head to the uber stylish Paloma Wine Bar for a post dinner drink. They have an impressive array of wines to choose from.

3. Date Night Movie at the Drive-In

The drive-in is a classic date night staple. And at the Gold Coast, you’ve got a couple of options.

Cosy up and watch a flick at the Yatala Drive-In, which is about a 30 minute drive from the Gold Coast. It’s a local staple that shows new releases and classics all year round. And the 50’s diner and Elvis and Marylin statues give it a fun retro feel. 

On the way, grab a snack at Yatala Pies. It’s been in business for over 130 years, dishing up award winning pies to those traversing the Pacific Highway. 

If you’re a Disney fan, Disney + Drive-In is a pop up seasonal event located at the Carrara Sports Precinct. Keep an eye on their socials to see when they’re set to kick off screenings.

4. Romantic Sunset Picnic

Burleigh Hill is the most popular picnic spot on the Gold Coast, and with good reason. You and your date can take in the jaw dropping view of the Surfers Paradise skyline and Pacific Ocean. 

Pack a picnic and grab a spot under the palms to enjoy the sunset. Or if you’re set to impress, Alfresco Pop Up Picnics will create a dreamy boho picnic complete with catering to really wow your date. 

If you’re still peckish afterwards, nearby Restaurant Labart specialises in serving world class Australian produce.
