Unspoiled Gulf Coast barrier island living where golf carts replace cars and uncrowded shores stretch for miles.
Located along Florida's Southwest Gulf Coast, this tranquil barrier island resort is reached exclusively via a short vehicle ferry across the Intracoastal Waterway. Weddings unfold across unblemished sugar-sand beaches framed by sea oats and sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico. Guests explore the peaceful, car-free setting by golf cart or bicycle before gathering for open-air receptions on coastal patios. Pastel villas and beachfront cottages offer comfortable accommodations just steps from the breaking surf.
