Valentine’s Day gifts don’t have to break the bank, but they should feel special, thoughtful, and full of love. But choosing the perfect gift can feel tricky with so many options available.
Luckily, if your Valentine loves the beach, you already have the best inspiration. The ocean and the serenity of the beach create endless inspiration.
If your special someone feels happiest near the ocean, give a gift this year that brings the beach closer.
1. Plan a Romantic Beach Getaway
Nothing says romance like meaningful time spent together. A pre-booked beach getaway gives your Valentine something exciting to look forward to. Come for a cozy stay in the winter months, or get a jump start on booking your summer getaway together.
ICONA Resorts offers beautiful oceanfront stays that provide a quintessential Jersey Shore experience. Wake up to ocean views, enjoy quiet beach walks, and relax by the pool. A weekend at one of ICONA’s NJ shore hotels feels luxurious, romantic, and refreshing. This gift creates memories that last longer than chocolates or flowers.
2. Give a Gift Card for Flexibility
If you want flexibility, a gift card works perfectly. ICONA Resorts gift cards let your Valentine plan their own trip when the timing feels right. They can use the card toward a weekend stay, a future summer trip, or a relaxing cozy-season escape. Or, they can use it to enjoy a delicious dinner together during your next visit. Gift cards are valid at all ICONA properties, so your loved one can pick the location that’s right for them.
Gift cards are a great choice for couples with busy schedules. Your Valentine receives a gift that reflects their love for the beach, while keeping plans flexible.
3. Indulge in a Valentine’s Day Dinner Package
If your Valentine is a foodie, ICONA Avalon’s Valentine’s Dining Experience is a perfect gift. The evening takes place in the Sea Glass Ballroom, just steps from the beach. Live piano music sets the mood as you enjoy a thoughtfully prepared three-course menu.
This dining experience pairs perfectly with an overnight stay package to elevate the experience. If your partner loves good food and ocean views, this is the perfect gift. Couples should book early, as reservations fill up quickly.
4. Gift Thoughtful Beach Essentials
Smaller gifts still carry big meaning when they reflect your partner’s passion. Thoughtfully chosen beach gift ideas feel romantic and personal. Consider a comfy beach blanket, an insulated tumbler for beach beverages, or a plush new towel for days spent by the waves.
You could also create a beach-themed gift basket to bring the shore into your home. Add a scented candle, saltwater taffy, a new beach read, and a note about your next trip for an extra personal touch.
5. Plan an Experience
One of the best gift ideas for beach lovers is a shared beach experience. This can feel more meaningful than any wrapped present. Plan a quiet beachside walk at sunrise or sunset, when the air is calm and peaceful. Bring coffee and warm blankets, and enjoy each other’s company.
You can also plan a simple picnic by the water. Pack shareable snacks like cheese & charcuterie, and a sweet treat, of course. Spend time together as you listen to the sound of the waves.
These special moments together create space for conversation, laughter, and connection.
Make This Valentine’s Day One to Remember
