22% of those polled mentioned the beach as that ideal romantic getaway. It's hard to resist the cool ocean breeze and sound of sea waves.

The 2nd choice was an escape to a city with a romantic feel.

A cruise can't be that far behind - it was the 3rd choice with 15% of the participants opting that option for a romantic vacation.

Other responses included visiting an exotic and distant place, spending some time at a bed & breakfast and going on a road trip.
