No Valentine's plans? Try these off-beat options

Yes, but: Even the mundane is beautiful when you live in paradise.

• So here are some off-beat ideas for finding romance where you'd least expect it.

🏖️ Ben T. Davis Beach: Imagine it — toes in the sand, a towel on the ground positioned far from the water because, well, you know, and the setting sun.

• Sure, you can do much better, but you can also do much worse. And it beats the drive to St. Pete.

🛠️ Lowe's: Yacob found love in a hardware place, and so can you. Trust us, under the right circumstances, the fluorescent glow of a beverage fridge can feel like heaven's light.

• Plus, nothing captures the essence of domestic bliss quite like shopping for home essentials together.

🚗 Howard Frankland Bridge: It's about the journey, not the destination. If your relationship can survive this traffic, it can survive anything.

• Just queue up some love songs, lower the windows and watch as sparks fly — even when the cars don't budge.

😋 Chili's: You can feel God in that leather booth, with that special someone and that menu in front of you.

• When your hands — coated in red dust — touch as you reach for a Nashville hot mozzarella stick, nothing else matters.
