Because Tampa Riverwalk weaves by and showcases numerous downtown Tampa attractions, it serves up multi-faceted possibilities for “popping the big question” and presenting your loved one with a vintage engagement ring. The 2.5-mile pedestrian walkway is beautiful in its own right, especially with the pink and amber colors of the sunset. Thus, you could plan your proposal preparation free-form, and let the mood and ever changing setting dictate when you ask the big question. Or you could plan to make your proposal at any one of more than a dozen parks, museums and restaurants along the walk’s length.

E-Boats Tampa offers easy-to-operate electric-powered boats for rent, from which you can explore Tampa Bay Tampa’s harbor and marvel at the city’s beauty from the water while you share your entreaties of everlasting love. Or you could up the ante with a chartered dinner sail on “Lionheart,” a 44-foot sailing yacht. What could be more romantic than presenting your beloved with a vintage engagement ring while sailing under the stars?
If the love of your life is a bit of a thrill seeker, you could take her to Busch Gardens, which is home to six of the country’s most amazing roller coasters. Of course, you may not want to present the ring while the roller coaster is going through a loop-the-loop, and Knox Jewelers suggests that you save the proposal for Busch Gardens’ Skyride, a perfect unwinding after the roller coaster rides, in which you and your loved one will delight in a panoramic view of African habitat and wildlife as you ghost across the sky in a cable car.
As part of Tampa’s romantic ambiance is inherent due to its proximity to the Gulf Coast, a sunset beach walk on the powdery white sands of Davis Beach might serve as the perfect proposal spot. For nature lovers, Lettuce Lake Regional Park offers numerous areas of natural beauty that could serve as prime locations for presenting the love of your life with a vintage engagement ring. You can explore this nature lover’s haven on foot, or by renting a kayak or canoe—just make sure you don’t drop the ring while making your entreaty of endless love.
If you are a traditionalist and envision the proposal in a romantic restaurant, the city of Tampa has you covered with dozens to choose from. For just a taste of possibilities, consider Armani’s, Bon Appetit, or Maritana Grille, all offering beautiful views of Tampa Bay and the promise of incredible cuisine to accent the special occasion.
