Is there anything better than love and the beach? Combine the two and you have yourself the perfect day. Well, guess what – this Tuesday is Valentine’s Day (and it just happens to fall during the first Australian Open of Surfing).

What better way to start the Valentine’s Day countdown than by looking back at some of our all-time favourite romantic beach movies!

3) Blue Hawaii A super buff Elvis serenading beautiful women under Hawaiian palm trees? Enough said.

2) Blue Lagoon A very young Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins become shipwrecked on a South Pacific tropical island. Innocence in a Garden of Eden?

1) From here to eternity Perhaps one of the most famous moments in cinematic history: Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr lying on a beach oblivious of the waves crashing across them. Soon the Japanese will attack the island, their affair will become impossible. But here, now, nothing else matters.
