Key West Beach Wedding

A wedding on a Florida beach is a romantic dream for many couples and the beaches on the island are popular Key West wedding venues. There are two main public beaches where the majority of beach weddings occur. Smathers Beach is the more picturesque and stretches for a couple miles on the south side of the island. Higgs Beach only runs for a few blocks, but it has a pier and a large pavilion that can host weddings. Unfortunately, these two beaches face south, meaning sunset weddings are practically nil. But depending on the time of year, beach sunrise marriages have become popular Key West wedding venues. South Beach, situated at the Atlantic end of Duval Street, is only about 100 feet across and has a restaurant on site as well as a pier. The beach is popular with tourists that end up there after walking down Duval Street. It is also popular with locals. Playwright Tennessee Williams visited South Beach daily when he resided in Florida.
