Most people elope at the courthouse. But a beach sounds like a lovely idea. After applying for a marriage license, find a wedding officiant willing to perform a ceremony at a beach. The office you apply for the license in probably has a list of licensed officiants in the area. Find a public beach (maybe near a lighthouse?) that is appropriate, set a time and date, and get married! The only thing you need to spend money on is the license, the officiant's fee (it's not too much), perhaps your wedding attire, and the rings if you want them. One thing to consider is that in many states you need a witness to the wedding. So you'll need to find someone to be with you. Congratulations and good luck!

Go to Mackinaw Island. It is GORGEOUS!! I am unsure what your budget is but it makes a beautiful place for a honeymoon as well. You can be right on the beach.

Those are the official lists of lighthouses that you can look at by location as well.

Call you local Justice of the Peace. You local court house will know who you need to talk to. I know in Oregon they come to wherever you want them to marry you or you go to them for FREE!! It is a wonderful thing. Good Luck!
