Stargazing on Peter and Paul Fortress Beach
Turn a simple summer evening in Saint Petersburg into a magical date night by heading to the beach of Peter and Paul Fortress. Enjoy the tranquil sound of the waves hitting the shore, captivating beach views, and the stunning multitude of stars overhead.
- You arrive at Peter and Paul Fortress just as the sun is starting to set. You walk hand in hand along the shore, letting your feet sink into the cool sand and enjoying the brisk sea air. \n\n You lay out a cozy blanket on the sand, and enjoy a simple but delicious picnic under the last light of the setting sun. \n\n As night falls, you lay back on your blanket and watch as the stars come out one by one. As you hold each other close, you can't help but marvel at the beauty of the universe.
Preparation steps:
- To prepare for this date, you'll first need to check the weather forecast - you'll want a clear night to get the best view of the stars. \n\n Pack a picnic filled with your favourite snacks and drinks. Don't forget a blanket - not only to sit on but to snuggle under as it can get cool in the evenings. \n\n Bring a star map or download an astronomy app on your phone so that you can identify the various constellations. It could be a fun and romantic activity to find and name the constellations together.
Some tips:
- Avoid going on a night when the moon is full, as the moonlight will make the stars less visible. \n\n Note that the beach may close at certain times, so check the opening hours before you plan your visit. \n\n Be sure to take your rubbish with you when you leave to help keep the beach clean for future visitors.
