Proposing in the Florida Keys: A Guide to the Perfect Moment

When it comes to romantic proposals, the Florida Keys offer a stunning backdrop of turquoise waters and a laid-back island vibe. Among the most beloved destinations in the Keys is Key Largo, known for its pristine beaches and vibrant marine life.


Why Key Largo?

Key Largo is the northernmost island in the Florida Keys, making it easily accessible and a favorite for Miami couples. It's renowned for its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters and diving spots. Plus, it offers a range of charming resorts and intimate restaurants, perfect for a memorable proposal.


Timing and Tips

As Miami locals, we always have to be aware of hurricane season which runs from June 1 through November 30, with the peak months usually being August and September.  The best months are typically from November through April, when the weather is pleasant and the skies are clear. For the most romantic experience, aim for a sunset proposal. The vibrant hues of the sunset over the ocean create a perfect, unforgettable backdrop.
