Beach Wedding Permitted Locations

Are you dreaming of a gorgeous wedding on the beach with the Gulf of Mexico as your backdrop? Gulf State Park has several locations that are approved to host beach weddings. Please note that you must have a Wedding Permit (which is separate from a marriage license) purchased from the Park in order to hold your ceremony at one of these locations.
