MemberWe decided we want to honeymoon in Florida, however needeing reccomendations on where to stay in Florida! We love Destin, but don’t think we would want to go there for a honeymoon. Also, nothing too crowded like Miami, Orlanda, etc. We are looking to go early-mid May. Thanks in advance!!

MemberI love Captiva Island. It’s a short ride (60-90 minutes I think?) from Fort Myers. But the resort we stayed at there (South Seas) was secluded enough that you didn’t feel like you were at a popular beach resort.
MemberMemberI live in the Clearwater/St Pete area. It’s a couple hours north of Naples and has lovely beaches.
I second St Augustine!
MemberI lived in Naples area and I would recommend St Augustine, The Keys, and Sanibel/Captiva islands.
MemberAmelia Island
Rosemary Beach / Seaside / Alys on 30a (less party than Destin but same gorgeous beaches)
Key West or some of the middle keys – Little Palm Island If it’s in the budget
Member^^^ Oh my gosh yes – Little Palm Island if you can wing it. What a magical place!!
MemberSanibel!

MemberSanibel, Siesta Key, Anna Maria Island are my go to spots for a low key beach vacation. Not too touristy, but still nicely “beachy”.
MemberSt Pete! My husband and I stayed there for our honeymoon and it was amazing!
MemberWe honeymooned in Sanibel. We just wanted a nice relaxing lazy time at the beach and it was perfect.
MemberAnother vote for the Sanibel/Captiva Islands!!! I spent a week there last May and it was absolutely heavenly. We biked everywhere, the water was warm and clear, the shelling amazing, it was right before the schools got out for the year so no crowds, warm but not too hot. I’d go back again in a heartbeat!
