As exciting as Feb. 14 is for many people, don’t forget to celebrate the day before: Galentine’s Day. Here are a few excellent locations for planning a girl’s getaway on the Atlantic Coast. It’s a great way to reconnect with your favorite female friends while sampling new sights (and flavors).

Morehead City (North Carolina)

Rent a beachfront cottage in Morehead City to catch some waves while catching up with your gal pals. This understated coastal town has a variety of shopping venues to explore, from boutiques to antique stores to olive oil shops. Curb your sweet tooth on some freshly made fudge at The Fudge Factory in Beaufort. Discover new beers at Crystal Coast Brewing Company or sample some vino and grab a bite to eat at Promise’ Land Market. Need some pampering? Get manicures and/or massages at Blue Ocean Spa & Nails.

Charleston (South Carolina)

Charming architecture, historical sites, breathtaking gardens, water vistas, and tasty food await you in Charleston. Reserve some rooms at 86 Cannon for vintage vibes. Amenities include original fireplaces, a nightly wine and cheese service, a third-floor library, and complimentary bicycles. Visit the Gibbes Museum of Art, wander through the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, and browse the shops along King Street. For dining and drinks, Husk has something to suit a variety of tastes; though make sure to get reservations ahead of time due to this place’s popularity. Bin 152 provides a spectrum of wines to choose from while The Gin Joint supplies an array of 1920s style gin cocktails and other mixed drinks.

St. Michaels (Maryland)

Feast on Chesapeake seafood and Maryland crabs when you visit St. Michaels. The Inn at Perry Cabin provides a peaceful, waterfront setting to enjoy some quality girl time, as you immerse yourself in the fitness classes and spa services the venue offers. Sailing, boating, golfing, and tennis are a few other pastimes you can partake in. Rent bikes, kayaks, or paddleboards at Shore Pedal and Paddle to explore more of the town’s natural geography and wildlife. Grab a cup of joe at The Blue Crab or Blue Heron Coffee or a sweet treat from Justine’s Ice Cream Parlor. For a culinary escape, try 208 Talbot, Crepes by the Bay, or Ava’s Pizzeria & Wine Bar.
