Bahamas Beach Wedding & Honeymoon Guide

The Bahamas are located less than 100 miles from Florida. Over 700 islands in the Western Atlantic Ocean make up The Bahamas and include the third longest barrier reef in the world. This coupled with pristine white sand beaches and turquoise water makes a romantic setting for a beach wedding. Thousands of weddings are held in The Bahamas every year, including a 'swim with the dolphins' wedding. A large number of resorts offer wedding packages that include handling all the legal requirements, with perhaps the most well known being the Sandals Resort.
