St. George Island Public Beach Weddings

With multiple public beach access points around St. George Island, couples can choose a location that fits their ceremony and guest needs. Depending on the access point, amenities may include parking, boardwalks, restrooms, and outdoor showers. The island's natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere make it an ideal choice for couples searching for a St. George Island wedding venue, Florida beach wedding venue, or Forgotten Coast wedding location.

Franklin County currently does not require a special event or wedding permit for ceremonies on public beaches. Different rules apply for weddings and events within gated communities, like the St. George Plantation.

Staying on the island? Make sure to check with your rental property before planning your event. While you can host your ceremony on the public beach without a permit, you need prior approval to host a reception at a rental house. Extra security deposits and special rules may apply.
