The beach has always been one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. It is relaxing, romantic and beautiful. What is not to love? If you plan to follow your wedding with a beach honeymoon, be sure to check out these fun ideas.
Let the world know you’re on your honeymoon with a custom bikini that says “Mrs. ____” across the back in crystals. It’ll make a fun surprise for her new husband and help show everyone that they’re not just vacationers. People love honeymooners, by the way, so don’t be surprised if they treat you to free drinks at the pool bar when they see you come in your “just married” bikini. Pack a pretty cotton coat, a pair of beaded sandals, and some of your silver wedding jewelry to layer over your bikini for poolside lunches.
Relaxing on the beach is definitely great, but there are plenty of other things you can do on your honeymoon as well. The best vacations will have a balance of fun activities and unscheduled free time. You may want to make some reservations in advance for the excursions so you don’t have to worry about it once you arrive at the resort. Ideas for things to do on your beach honeymoon include snorkeling, parasailing, sightseeing, scuba diving, and boating. Certain locations will have outings that are unique to that area, like a helicopter tour of Hawaii or a visit to Mayan ruins in Mexico.
Be sure to explore the activities available on your honeymoon resort site. Many hotels will have tons of fun things to do. You can rent a jet ski, take out a small sailboat or catamaran, or go deep-sea fishing. There will also be plenty of fun things to do on the beach or by the pool at most resorts, including luaus, volleyball tournaments, and water aerobics. The bride can unwind at the hotel spa with a relaxing massage and pedicure in bright tropical color to ease the last stress of wedding planning.
Romantic dinners are a must for any honeymoon. She brings along a pretty dress and some of her silver wedding jewelry for those special nights. Plan ahead a bit so both you and your boyfriend know what to pack. If you’re likely to stick to informal dinners watching the sun set over a pier, an easy-to-pack jersey sundress will be ideal for the bride, and the groom can wear nice shorts and a golf shirt. On the other hand, you may want to treat yourself to at least one romantic dinner at an upscale restaurant in your resort or seaside town, in which case, a dressier dress and high-heeled sandals are a must for the bride, and the groom. You must bring a jacket and tie.
What else can you do on a beach honeymoon? Browse an open-air market, rent bikes, go for a hike, have a picnic in a secluded cove, and much more. Bring games and books for those moments when you are relaxing on the beach and leave your PDAs at home. The best thing to do on your honeymoon is simply bask in the glow of newlyweds.
