LAKE HAVASU – February is the month for lovers in Lake Havasu City, located along the western section of Arizona known as Arizona’s West Coast.
Valentine’s Day arrives on the 14th when thoughts turn to celebrate love–not just romantic love between couples, but the love for friends, family members, and ourselves.
The folks at Go Lake Havasu, the city’s destination marketing organization, might be slightly biased in thinking their city is Arizona’s most romantic, but it’s easy to understand why.
The views are astounding from the deck of the Tecopa.
For only $4 p.p. round trip, couples can witness stunning landscapes and unique landmarks as they take a 15-minute sunset ferry ride across the lake to the California side, from just north of the London Bridge to Havasu Landing Resort & Casino. For the ferry schedule, see the Havasu Landing Resort & Casino website at https://www.havasulandingresortcasino.com/.
Romantic Sunsets
Couples who want a deeper sunset experience and a sense of togetherness will enjoy a sunset cruise with Sunset Charter & Tour Co.

The London Bridge turns almost pink as a Barbie to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Then there’s the charm and historic beauty of the famed London Bridge. With 700 energy-saving LED lights lit up at night in pink and red, this world-famous icon is well-suited for a romantic selfie spot.
“Couples can create lasting memories with some adventurous winter activities such as hiking, off-roading, or mountain biking,” suggests Susan Smith, Go Lake Havasu’s CEO.
Couples can share a romantic meal at charming waterfront restaurants and cafes, including Javelina Cantina, Makai Cafe, Martini Bay, and Kokomo at London Bridge Resort, Shugrue’s Restaurant & Bar, and Turtle Grille at The Nautical Beachfront Resort.
One way to get to know each other is to simply go on a stroll.
They can also picnic on white sand beaches at Lake Havasu State Park, stroll along Shoreline Trail, or visit one of the area’s five confirmed honest-to-goodness vortexes (yes, it’s a thing), wherein they can tap the rejuvenating energy moving up and out of the earth (up-flow) or inflow–calming energy flowing back into the earth.

Learn how deep your love is at the BeeGees all-female tribute, Feb. 17.
Lovers can enjoy the local culture, music and entertainment scene, relax poolside at a local resort, enjoy a couple’s massage, or attend a tribute concert honoring Roy Orbison (Feb. 4), Billy Joel and Elton John (Feb. 8), REO Speedwagon (Feb. 10), ABBA (Feb. 16), The She Gees (Feb. 17), Garth Brooks (Feb. 18), and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (Feb. 25). (For details, see the calendar of events at www.golakehavasu.com)
Couples should kick off their romantic getaways with a visit to the city’s Visitor Center, where they’ll find free guides to attractions, activities, restaurants, and videos highlighting the city’s history and its iconic bridge. It’s also an ideal place to stock up on Havasu merch, London-themed goods imported from England, and items from local businesses. Visitors can pin their hometowns on a large wall map at the entrance.
