Beach ceremonies and beachfront proposals
Couples can exchange vows on the resort’s private stretch of Gulf shoreline or choose the Beach Deck, a 7,800-square-foot outdoor terrace that faces the sand and water. The Beach Deck is designed for beachfront ceremonies and receptions and ties directly to the resort’s private beach access.
Because the resort sits directly on the Gulf, a beachfront ceremony typically means on-the-sand vows or a terrace ceremony with dune and Gulf views. The resort’s wedding team can advise on logistics such as seating, sound, and timing relative to tides and sunset.

- Private beach access for on-the-sand ceremonies
- Nearby terrace options include Paradise Point and other outdoor staging areas
| Option | Typical use |
|---|---|
| On-the-sand ceremony | Intimate to mid-size beachfront vows; requires coordination with resort |
