Date Night Entertainment Options

Paragon Theater at Ocean Walk

Address: 250 N. Atlantic Avenue, Daytona Beach

There are a few restaurants at this majestic oceanfront complex, and one cannot overlook the beautiful beach views and delicious libations available at Mai Tai Bar. But amid other movie theaters, there is something that sets the Ocean Walk theater apart: seating and drinks.

We don’t mean the normal gallon-size sodas, but rather a wine and beer selection that you can enjoy with your movie, as well as the added comfort of plush, leather reclining seats in a special VIP theater. Plus, when the movie is through, you can easily take a nice stroll down to the Daytona Bandshell or Boardwalk and be serenaded by the soft sounds of the rolling waves with the one you love.

Head for the Fishing Pier, then Fill Up at Crabby Joes

Address: 1200 Main St, Daytona Beach

There aren't any rules about date nights, so why not just laugh together as you watch fishers intent on catching a big fish at the Fishing Pier! Watch and take notes on who has the best technique, or maybe try your hand and fishing with your date.

When you tire of fishing, and you and your date are ready for some quality time together, find a spot at Crabby Joe's to grab a snack and a cool drink! They have their own bait shack, areas to clean your fresh catch, and many benches to take in the beach view. 

Experience the Beach and the Bandshell

Address: 70 Boardwalk, Daytona Beach

When you're in Daytona on a beautiful evening, little is more romantic than a barefoot stroll along the beach. If it's a Saturday night from May through September, why not combine a casual beach picnic with a scheduled Bandshell concert and stay for the fireworks that begin at 9:45 p.m?

If you're not into picnics, grab something to eat and drink from one of the casual eateries on the Pier. Or unleash some energy after dinner and head south to the Boardwalk. Play arcade games and experience some of the rides. We think summer life should be all about fun!

Pavilion at Port Orange Theater and Dining

Address: 5511 S Williamson Boulevard, Port Orange

This a great destination for date nights as The Pavilion offers an array of excellent dining options as well as the convenience of a high-quality movie theater, all within this upscale Port Orange setting.

Choose from popular chain restaurants such as Texas Roadhouse and Olive Garden or other fine dining establishments such as Malibu Beach Grill and Takara Japanese Steakhouse. Cap the night off with a delicious treat from Cold Stone Creamery or enjoy a few brews at House 4 Beer. That's the best part about Pavilion at Port Orange: options!

Whichever of these options you may choose for your next date night, we hope you have a fantastic and safe evening with that special someone in the beautiful Daytona Beach area.
