Getting married is not only a big step, and a big day, but also a major influencing factor on the rest of your life. Agreeing before the eyes of God to stick together through thick and thin is a decision not to be taken lightly, despite the modern worlds frivolous view of marriage and the ease at which they can be cancelled or broken.

When planning a wedding, the location is a big issue; maybe both parties involved have different ideas with regards the religious severity of the wedding, or size of the guest list.

A growing trend in wedding location is a beach destination. Not merely the local stretch of sand on a cold October afternoon, but tropical beach destinations; marriages at sunset underneath a crowd of palm trees with close friends and family the only ones in attendance.

A beach destination wedding provides the best of both worlds, a relaxed and intimate atmosphere created by the normally small group of attendee’s (kept small by the cost of air fares and booking time of work.) While many beach destination weddings also pose as the base point for the honeymoon, with a slight role reversal-taking place that sees the guests waved off from the reception leaving the happy couple behind.

Guests also benefit from attending a beach destination wedding as it provides the perfect excuse to stay an extra couple of days (in a separate hotel to the couple hopefully) and enjoy a short break or second honeymoon of their own.

Choosing a beach destination wedding is very much dependant on the time of year you want to get married in and the budget for the event. Some people have very specific reasons for choosing a certain date for their wedding, while others have not. This will be a major factor in deciding on a beach destination wedding. Obviously the cost of a beach destination wedding can be considerable larger than a more traditional church hosted event, simply because of the cost of accommodation before the event and the airfares. Especially if the happy couple already have children together or from previous relationships as is becoming the case more frequently in modern society.

A beach destination wedding is a good choice for a couple who are not traditionally or devoutly religious and view a wedding as more of an opportunity to cement their love and relationship before their friends and family above the eyes of God. By travelling to a beach destination they are creating a lasting memory that will live long in the minds of them and their guests for many years to come.

The question of what makes a good beach destination is one that can be answered differently for everybody, depending on personal tastes not to mention the type of vacation. A beach destination is a popular choice for honeymoons or romantic getaways, yet might not be the first choice for the couple when contemplating their normal yearly break away from the drudgery of normal life.

The first and foremost factors behind a good beach destination are Sun, Sand, and Surf. That is a given. Nobody goes to a beach destination expecting to have bad weather, and nobody goes to a beach destination in the middle of the winter season there.

Sand is an important thing when it comes to the beach itself, not only do the stereotypical paradise island white sandy beaches look great, the sand is also soft and gently against the skin, compared to some of the rougher coursers yellow sand that is found on a majority of beaches. Although this being said, it comes down to not only a matter of preference, but also what type of beach you want. One to laze around on, or one to use as a storage sport for food, drinks and clothes while you enjoy the various water based activities that beaches are also so well loved for.

This being said, the surf on offer at a beach is a large factor to consider when choosing a beach destination, not only because some water can be rougher than others, carrying with it a deceptive and often hidden under current that could easily pull younger members of the group or weaker swimmers out to see. (Strong swimmers are also not immune to the power of the ocean, and this should not be forgotten.) Also, a beach destination that produces a large swell and tall waves, is more likely to be a popular choice for water sports such as surfing or the increasingly popular wake boarding, and therefore might not be the best choice for a relaxing family vacation simply because of the traffic on the water.

The local culture of the country / region, is also a major factor for many people when picking a beach destination for their sunny break, after all a fortnight trip to the gorgeous beaches of Hawaii with its laid back ‘Aloha’ culture will be a totally different experience than a trip of the same duration to the stunning shorelines of Cuba, whose culture is to say the least shrouded and flawed, although as far as holiday destinations go it is hard to beat and the first choice for many people. Even if you never leave the hotel or the beach, private or not the local community and the people that live there will have a factor on your vacation.
