There’s no shortage of lovely places to elope in Florida Keys. Scroll down to read about some of our favorites!
Smathers Beach
Excellent for mornings or sunsets, Smathers beach is lined with palm trees, fine sand, and expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean. The City of Key West maintains this top-notch public beach. Totally free too!
Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden
Preservation is at the forefront of this venue. It’s the only frost-free, natural conservation habit, botanical garden in the continental United States! Choose among several spots, like the lakeside terrace, butterfly garden, nature pavilion, or courtyard. The garden highlights flora native to the Keys, Cuba, and Caribbean. Venue rental fee applies.
Bahia Honda State Park
The park has palm-lined beaches, clear waters, and awesome sunsets. Just under an hour from Key West, the park feels remote and secluded. You can gaze off into the distance and see what was once a railroad bridge connecting the Keys to the mainland. Venue rental fee applies – good for three hours!
The Garden at the Oldest House Museum
This conch cottage is known as the oldest house on the island and was built in 1829. It was home to the wrecker Captain Francis B. Watlington, his wife Emeline, and their nine daughters. The large garden with lawn, brick pathways, and a gazebo sits among impressive mature tropical foliage. Venue rental fee applies.
Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservancy
Cascading waterfalls, colorful birds, tropical plants, and of course, butterflies! Perfect for 10-15 people. This venue is all indoors, but it’s every side is glass so you can still see everything outside.
West Martello Tower
History and horticulture here! The tower was first constructed by the U.S. Armed Forces in 1822 when the Navy surveyed Key West. Later, the tower was a symbol of defiance as Key West was the only southern city allied with the Federal government during the Civil War. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the gorgeous tower grounds offer a gazebo and several cozy enclaves with ocean views and garden tropical plants. Venue rental fee applies.
