One thing to think about when asking everyone (including guests) to wear a specific thing (even if it's just one colour) is cost to the guests. Especially when they are already paying to travel to your location (flights, plus hotels, food, etc), having to pay to buy an all-white outfit (which most people probably don't have) is an extra cost that many people can't afford.
What about having just the wedding party in white? Another idea is for you and your fiance to wear all white and the wedding party to wear an off-white/cream colour.
I do think it's a great idea, but as a guest at four weddings this year alone (seven last year!), I know that purchasing a special outfit for one of the weddings would be a huge cost. I have a few wedding-appropriate outfits and I wear one of those to each wedding I attend depending on the level of formality for the wedding. I just couldn't afford to buy a special outfit for one wedding, especially if I was paying to travel there.

I don't really own any white clothes, just a couple of tshirts and no bottoms at all. I would be kind of ticked if I had to go out and buy something white (which I don't look good in) just for someone's wedding. The rest of your plan sounds fabulous, but telling people what to wear is kind of over the top.

All white weddings can work wonderfully. I would add one accent color even if it was minimal or use shades of whites like ivory and bone just to add a little visual interest. All stark white tends to show up weird in pictures and kinda like black its hard to match them perfectly anyway. Also consider mixing up your textures. For instance put plain white chargers on a white eyelet table cloth and have napkins striped with an alteration between matte and satiny fabric finishes.
I've planned a few weddings in shades of white and it looks great. Not my style for my wedding but great.

You're going to be surrounded by golden sands, blue water...and there you'll be all in white. Sounds lovely to me.
My one reservation is that I wouldn't want to dictate what color the guests can wear. Some of us don't own a lot of white clothes. But if your guests are okay with that, well, then it's not my decision to make and again, it will look pretty.

I love all white parties. I think everyone looks very nice in white so I say go for it. I'm sure some people will throw splashes of color into their outfits which would go great with a beach theme. Good luck.

I've seen versions of this and think it's beautiful. I had shades of white and sparkling gold as my colors for my wedding. I would suggest that adding some sparkling gold and/or silver would add a little more class, but just white is great!

I attended a wedding where everything was done in black. The only thing was that the guests were required to wear black and white. That way the bride was the only one in total black and it was much more special for her.

I think that would be beautiful for a beach wedding. If you were to add any other colors I would stay with neutrals and only add a touch of color to the bouquets. Congrats.

I think that sounds so fun and memorable!
How about all white except your flowers. Something special to stand out and maybe your husbands tie or something? Just an idea.
I would go with it if I was you. It sounds amazing :)
