HIKE TO RIP-ROARING WATERFALLS, KAYAK THE RES, GO TANDEM SKYDIVING—OR JUST CHILL AT A GORGEOUS ART DECO THEATER. WITH SO MANY CHOICES, LOVE-SEEKERS IN CONTRA COSTA ARE SURE TO MAKE SWEET MEMORIES.
10:30 a.m.Kayak Quiet Waters
❑ Start the day by surprising your love with a rowboat rental at the Lafayette Reservoir or a two-person kayak at San Pablo Reservoir. It’s an easy way to abandon the rat race and drift away on still waters into scenic seclusion. ebmud.com.
❑ Sip cappuccinos, and stare into each other’s eyes at Cherubini Coffee House, an adorable café and antiques shop tucked against Alamo Creek. cherubinicoffeehouse.com.
❑ February is the perfect time of year to take one of Mount Diablo’s most scenic hikes: Falls Trail to Back Creek Trail. You’ll see several raging waterfalls and an abundance of wildflowers and wildlife. Mount Diablo Interpretive Association hosts a guided hike on February 12. mdia.org.

Take a Love Leap
❑ Feel like taking the ultimate romantic leap? Skydiving offers a killer adrenaline rush for lovers. “It’s a great shared experience,” says Bay Area Skydiving instructor Mark Fosbury. “Going up to 13,000 feet and then jumping out of the plane is the kind of thrill you’ll always talk about.” bayareaskydiving.com.
❑ Don’t forget the little things—like chocolate. My wife never tires of the sweet surprise of dark chocolate honeycomb confections from Concord’s Rachel Dunn Chocolates. racheldunnchocolates.com.
❑ Finish the afternoon with cocktails at Crockett’s Dead Fish restaurant. Ask for a private heated booth on the patio, which faces west over a steep cliff and offers a Bay view that takes your breath away. thedeadfish.com.

7:30 p.m.A Blanket of Stars
❑ Join the Mount Diablo Observatory Society, and you’ll be invited to a series of stargazing events around our favorite mountain. mdia.org.
❑ For dinner and a movie, the art deco glamour of the Orinda Theatre puts multiplexes to shame. Nearby restaurants, such as the cozy Table 24 and the classic Casa Orinda (ask for a table by the copper fireplace) pair perfectly for a nice night out. .theorindatheatre.com; table24orinda.com;casaorinda.net.
❑ For serious romantic ambience, head to the second-floor dining room at Élevé in Walnut Creek. The restaurant’s artisan cocktails and Vietnamese cuisine set a sexy mood, and on some nights, live jazz sweetens the view of the lights on Main Street below.eleverestaurant.com. —Peter Crooks
