Best Beach Wedding Locations
Molokai Island, Hawaii beaches
As far as quiet beach locations go, Molokai Island is probably the best choice. So, if you’re looking for an extremely peaceful and serene setting where beauty abounds, this may be the beach for you. There are no crowds, and there are lots of unique locations along the beach to choose as your setting — like a cascading waterfall or a historic ranch. Molokai has Hawaii’s longest white sand beach and the only barrier reef outside of Australia. This could mean great fun for both you and your guests if you choose to visit the reef and see all the beautiful sea life.
Panama City, Florida beaches
With an average 320 days of sunshine each year, breathtakingly beautiful pure white sand beaches and a gorgeous blue-green ocean for the background, Panama City is an all-around favorite. There are plenty of beach wedding venues to choose from.
Ever wonder why our beaches stay so clean & powdery white? The legendary pure white sand of Panama City Beach is attributed to quartz crystals washing down from the Appalachian Mountains centuries ago. Along their journey, the crystals were bleached, ground, smoothed, and polished. The surf and tides of the Gulf of Mexico is responsible for depositing these millions of grains of sugar-white sand onto the pristine shoreline… the result of this rigorous process is the beautiful, renowned beaches of Panama City Beach.

I planned my own Destination Wedding and everything went off without a hitch — we got married barefoot on the beach in the Bahamas! I like to help brides-to-be find unique ways to do things that will ultimately save them time & money on their wedding. I write about "outside the box" wedding ideas that most people wouldn't think of!
