“Everything you need for the perfect day!”

When trying to decide on the perfect beach for your Florida wedding in the Clearwater or St. Petersburg area, it’s really a matter of convenience. There are so many great beaches to get married on in Florida that you can often find one that it very close to where you are staying. 

Here are a few of our favorite beaches:

St. Pete Beach / Pass-A-Grille:

Pass-a Grille beach is a beautiful long strip of powder white sand that has ample parking (metered) and can accommodate anything from a small wedding of two to a party of 50 or more. There are a couple of restaurants directly across the street that can accommodate a small reception. This can be a wonderful feature because it’s very nice to be able to just walk over to an air-conditioned spot for dinner with a few friends after your ceremony.

Sand Key Park: 1060 Gulf Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767

Sand Key Park Beach is a wide spread beach that can accommodate very large weddings. It has additional photograph locations along the rock jetty, ample parking (metered) with easy access to the beach as well as Restrooms and Picnic Pavilions that can be rented.

Sunset Beach: 8000 West Gulf Blvd, Sunset Beach, FL

Located in Treasure Island, Sunset Beach boasts a boardwalk, rock jetty, white sand, and a Pavilion that can be rented for a reception just off the beach. For information on renting the Sunset Beach Pavilion click here. There is a large parking lot with metered parking with easy access to the beach. Sunset Beach is in the middle of a residential area so there are no large hotel chains or restaurants just off the beach. It is ideal for a more private wedding. Many Tampa Bay Wedding Photographers claim that Sunset Beach is the best photography beach in the Tampa Bay area.

A note about photography:

Wedding photography is one off the most difficult types of photography to do well and that’s especially true when the wedding takes place on a Florida beach at sunset. Changing light conditions and the havoc that sand can cause are just two of the reasons why you need a good photographer for your wedding day. Check out Tampa photographer Booray Perry to get an example of how great your wedding photography can be. Couples who book their Florida beach wedding with Perfect Florida Beach Wedding will have their day photographed by a trained professional who produces stunning images to last a lifetime!
