This perfect little Florida town has it all!
Mexico Beach, Fla. (December 2017) – A beach destination wedding is a dream for many couples around the world. Saying “I do” with the waves gently lapping in the background and the sun sinking below the horizon is like a scene from a fairy tale. Mexico Beach, Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico is a perfect place for couples to celebrate quiet nuptials and receptions on sugary white sands. Local experts in everything from tent rentals to videography are available to help plan every detail to perfection and make the Big Day go smoothly. The mild climate and beautiful scenery make weddings here unforgettable any time of year.
Here’s what makes Mexico Beach an exceptional beach wedding destination:
The Beach
It might seem like the obvious reason, but we can’t express enough love for our beaches. The white sands almost look like snow on the ground. This is thanks to the fine quartz crystals that have been carried down from the Appalachian Mountains by streams and rivers, then deposited into the Gulf of Mexico just east of Mexico Beach. The dazzling white sand and clean water attract visitors from far and wide to our shores and make an exceptional backdrop for wedding ceremonies and photos year-round. There are also plenty of churches and wedding chapels nearby to host your ceremony if you so desire.
The Quiet
Have you ever visited the beach and seen an altar and chairs being set up nearby with a gaggle of tourists lounging in the background? You might have thought, “I wouldn’t want all those strangers in my wedding photos.” Mexico Beach is a quiet little oasis, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of bigger beach towns in Northwest Florida. There are no high-rise condos, no traffic lights, and no huge crowds to spoil your trip. The locals take pride in the fact that the area is part of the “Forgotten Coast,” where the Old Florida lifestyle is serene and respectful of nature. Of course, Mexico Beach likes to call it The Unforgettable Coast® instead. Memories made there will last a lifetime—especially when a happy couple says, “I do” in front of friends and loved one on these tranquil shores!

Your Dream Vow Renewal
One of our favorite things about weddings on the beach is seeing loving couples return to our shores to renew their vows. Beach vow renewals are beautiful, and many people flock to Mexico Beach to say “I still do” every year. A vow renewal ceremony can be the perfect excuse for an anniversary trip, a family reunion, or just a weekend getaway with your honey! Plus—each year, Mexico Beach invites couples to join us for the Annual Vow Renewal Ceremony, where we provide all the details and all you have to do is sign up to join. Our 2017 event took place on April 8 near Sunset Park, with nearly 30 couples enjoying an afternoon celebration on the beach with their families and loved ones. A complimentary reception followed, and all who participated had a great time! Check out photos from our three spectacular mass vow renewal events and register for the Fourth Annual Vow Renewal Ceremony coming April 14, 2018, at MexicoBeach.com.
