Updated: Sep 7, 2023


Florida Beaches

🌊 Key West 🌊


Nestled at the southernmost tip of the United States, Key West invites you to a captivating island escape like no other. Known for its vibrant atmosphere, stunning sunsets, and rich history, this charming paradise captivates hearts with its laid-back allure. For couples looking for a laid-back honeymoon in one of the most beautiful spots Florida has to offer, look no further than Key West.



Romantic Saint Augustine

⛪ Saint Augustine ⛪


Saint Augustine, the oldest city in the United States, casts a spell of timeless romance that sets the stage for an unforgettable honeymoon escape. Nestled along the enchanting northeast coast of Florida, this charming destination blends history, culture, and captivating coastal beauty, making it an ideal haven for newlyweds seeking a romantic retreat. We have spent many romantic weekends in Saint Augustine and never leave disappointed.


Spend your days walking hand in hand through cobblestone streets adorned with centuries-old architecture. Discover hidden courtyards, historic landmarks, and intimate cafes. If you're in the mood for a beach day, St. Augustine Beach beckons with its powder-soft sand and gentle waves. Spend your evenings savoring romantic candlelit dinners at charming bistros, indulge in wine tastings at local vineyards, and experience culinary delights that reflect the city's vibrant food scene.


The Don Cesar Saint Pete Beach

🏖️ St. Pete Beach 🏖️


St. Petersburg offers honeymooners a sun-kissed retreat filled with endless possibilities for romance and relaxation. Nestled along the picturesque Gulf Coast, this vibrant city exudes coastal charm, making it a perfect destination for honeymooners.


There's plenty to occupy your days, from visiting the lush botanical gardens at Sunken Gardens, where you can wander through colorful blooms and secret pathways to exploring the city's scenic trails on two wheels. Spend a day enjoying the sun at Pass-A-Grille beach or immerse yourselves in the city's vibrant art scene, from contemporary galleries to world-class museums.


There's plenty to do after the sun sets in St. Petersburg as well. Embark on a romantic sunset cruise along the serene waters of Tampa Bay as the cool sea breeze and the sound of lapping waves create an unforgettable experience or enjoy dinner and drinks at one of many waterfront restaurants.



Sanibel Island Getaway


🐚 Sanibel Island 🐚


I may be biased as Sanibel is practically in my backyard but it really is one of Florida's hidden gems. Secluded and serene, Sanibel Island offers a romantic haven surrounded by natural beauty. Walk along the shell-strewn beaches, explore the pristine wildlife refuges, and immerse yourselves in the tranquility of this Gulf Coast gem.


If you are envisioning a honeymoon full of opportunities to spend time outdoors, Sanibel may be just what you're looking for. Explore the island's wildlife refuges and tranquil parks, where you'll encounter native birds and tropical flora or spend some time discovering Sanibel's reputation as the "Shell Capital of the World" as you spend a day hunting for sea shells. There are plenty of hotel options both on Sanibel Island, and neighboring Captiva Island. Make sure to head to Mucky Ducks on Captiva Island for dinner and one of the best sunsets you'll ever see while you're there. It's not uncommon to see dolphins playing off the shore as the sun sinks into the water.



Seaside Florida

🌊 Seaside 🌊


If you've not yet been to or heard of 30A, Florida's Emerald Coast, let me introduce you to one of Florida's best kept secrets. Nestled between the busier areas of Panama City and Destin along County Road 30A, lie the beach communities of Rosemary Beach, Seaside, Aly's and Santa Rosa Beach. You won't find many tourist traps or massive condos along this stretch of Florida's panhandle, but you will find sugar-white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, beautiful pastel colored cottages and picket fences.


You'll find plenty to occupy your time while honeymooning here. If you enjoy outdoor activities you'll enjoy leisurely bike rides together, exploring scenic hiking trails, or embarking on a paddle board adventure. When you need a break from the sun you'll find some of the cutest boutique shops and plenty of dining options from cute cafe's to gourmet restaurants.


Whichever destination you choose, Florida promises a honeymoon filled with love, joy, and cherished moments. Let us help you plan the romantic escape of a lifetime, where your love story unfolds amidst the beauty of the Sunshine State.
