Florida Babymoon Ideas

Amelia Island

Amelia Island offers 13 miles of unspoiled beaches, calm waters, and plentiful wildlife. Just off the northeast Florida coast, thousands of visitors flock to this barrier island for babymoons each year. The white quartz sand feels so good against your (swollen) feet. The restaurants on the island are also fantastic. There are also many outdoor activities like kayaking, shell collecting and so much more!

Marco Island 

Get in touch with nature on Marco Island. Right near the gorgeous Everglades, and a short fifteen miles south of Naples, Marco Island offers prime shell-hunting. Pick amongst a huge range of exotic, colorful shells as you slowly walk the beach. At Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge you can walk through a massive forest full of plants and animals native to the Everglades. Tigertail Beach Park is also a popular spot, featuring a gorgeous lagoon that’s perfect for paddleboarding.

Santa Rosa Beach

You won’t find a more relaxing locale along Florida’s famous Emerald Coast than Santa Rosa Beach. Powder white sand (perfect for strolling), calm turquoise water (perfect for frolicking), and plenty of free space to lay in the sun. It’s less crowded than other big beaches in Florida, so if you’re looking to really stay off the beaten path, this is your choice for your babymoon. The area is also packed with charming boutique shops and restaurants for you to visit.

Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine is the oldest city in the United States so it boasts a ton of history. Spanish architecture dots the streets just begging to be appreciated and explored. The picturesque beach surely draws a lot of eyes, too. Treat yourself to a soothing day at a local spa after your day in the hot sun. When you feel like doing some exploring, St. George Street is a great choice, offering an eclectic variety of boutique and antique shops, eateries, museums, historic attractions, and more with classic Southern charm.

Fernandina Beach

At the northeast border of Amelia Island you’ll find Fernandina Beach. Known for its golf, shrimp, and world-class spas Fernandina is a perfect location for your babymoon. Downtown Fernandina Beach also offers boutique shopping and a range of scrumptious restaurants. Perfect temperatures also help make this location the perfect spot for your next getaway.
