Fun Beach Honeymoon Ideas
The beach has always been one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. It is relaxing, romantic, and beautiful – what’s not to love? If you are planning to follow your wedding with a beach honeymoon, be sure to check out these fun ideas.
Let the world know that you are honeymooners with a customized bikini that says “Mrs. ____” on the back in crystals. It will be a fun surprise for your new husband and will help to show everyone that you are not just any vacationers. People love honeymooners, by the way, so don’t be surprised to get treated to free drinks at the swim up bar when they see you coming in your “just married” bikini. Pack a pretty cotton coverup, a pair of jeweled thong sandals, and some of your silver wedding jewelry to slip over your bikini for lunches poolside.
Relaxing on the beach is definitely great, but there are lots of other things which you can also do on your honeymoon. The best vacations will have a balance of fun activities and unscheduled free time. You might want to make some reservations ahead of time for excursions so you don’t have to bother with that once you get to the resort. Ideas for things to do on your beach honeymoon include snorkeling, parasailing, sightseeing, scuba diving, and boat trips. Certain locations will have outings which are unique to that area, such as a helicopter tour of Hawaii or visiting the Mayan ruins in Mexico.
Be sure to explore the activities available right on site at your honeymoon resort. 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 many enjoyable things to do on the beach or at the pool at most resorts, such as luaus, volleyball tournaments, and water aerobics. The bride can unwind at the hotel spa with a relaxing massage and a pedicure in a bright tropical color to ease away the last of the wedding planning stress.
Romantic dinners are a must for any honeymooners. Bring along a pretty dress and some of your silver wedding jewelry for those special evenings. Plan ahead a little so that you and your groom both know what to pack. If you are likely to stick to casual dinners watching the sunset 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 might wish to indulge in at least one romantic dinner in an upscale restaurant at your resort or beach town, in which case, a more fancy dress and high heel sandals are a must-pack for the bride, and the groom should bring a jacket and tie.
What else can you do on a beach honeymoon? Explore an open air market, rent bicycles, go on a hike, have a picnic in a secluded cove, and much more. Bring along games and books for those times when you are relaxing on the beach, and leave your PDAs at home. The very best thing to do on your honeymoon is simply to bask in the glow of being newlyweds.
