When I was planning my destination wedding in Key West, Florida, I visited the wedding site, The Knot, a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Granted, the beach I chose to get married on (Smathers Beach) didn’t make this list, but the list looks lovely just the same. I won’t totally steal author Meredith Gray’s thunder, but I will list the first five beaches she writes about and show you pictures of them. I thought it to be an interesting list — only one Hawaii Beach, and only one Florida Beach! It’s a unique list, for sure.

Enjoy the planning!
