Anywhere in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and surrounding areas, you can find romantic beach getaways. Minneapolis is called "The City of Lakes" and has some wonderful beaches.

Snail Lake Beach in Shoreview is a clean and quiet beach that is rarely crowded. There's great sand, beautiful grassy areas, picnic areas and a concession stand. It's easy to find a secluded spot here. 

Hidden Beach, on the eastern shore of Cedar Lake in Minneapolis, used to be famous as the area's only nude beach. There is still a free-spirited "vibe" at Hidden Beach left over from it's days as a hippie hangout. This charming romantic beach getaway offers the beauty and seclusion that appeals to romantics. 

Baker Park is secluded in the north part of Hennepin County  and has one of the best beaches we've found. You'll find clean water at this beach and great spots for a romantic picnic.
