Why Honeymoon Island for Your Beach Wedding
Honeymoon Island State Park offers an authentic Gulf-coast setting with wide, sugar-sand beaches, natural sea-oat dunes, and uninterrupted sunset views. Couples love its "nature reserve" feel-far from high-rise backdrops-yet it's minutes from charming Dunedin for post-ceremony dining. The park's long shoreline makes it easy to find a quieter spot, and the west-facing horizon delivers golden light that flatters photos. If you want a ceremony that feels relaxed, coastal, and cinematic, this beach checks every box.
