Five of the best U.S. beaches for eloping<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Key West, Florida<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Key West is home to several beautiful beaches, from South Beach which tends to be quieter and a great pick for an intimate ceremony, to Fort Zachary Taylor State Park Beach within the state park offering a picturesque rocky shoreline. With white sand and clear waters, Floridian beaches are a great choice for an elopement as they provide a backdrop of dreams as well as plenty to do and explore in the area both before and after your nuptials. We have a range of rental car centers in Florida<\/a> so no matter how and where you\u2019re getting into the state, you can hop into your car with ease and be on your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Outer Banks, North Carolina<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Outer Banks in North Carolina<\/a> are a string of barrier islands, offering an ample number of beaches to choose from to elope. Nags Head Beach, Corolla Beach, and Kitty Hawk Beach are just a few of the sandy shores where you can opt to say \u201cI do\u201d. With a wealth of attractions, landmarks, and history, the Outer Banks is a great place to enjoy the start of married life. With rental car centers at both Raleigh Durham International Airport<\/a> and Charlotte Douglas Airport<\/a> no matter where you fly in from you can head off to the beach of your choice in comfort and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Malibu, California<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Malibu is famous for its beaches, with Zuma Beach being one of the most popular. However, there are also more secluded shorelines like El Matador State Beach, perfect for a private elopement. After your wedding, stroll along the Malibu Pier, indulge in some wine tasting, or enjoy the range of hiking trails and scenery this city has to offer. Renting a car in California<\/a> is easier than ever with SIXT, as we have a range of locations across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Maui, Hawaii<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The natural beauty of Hawaii<\/a> is truly breathtaking and the island of Maui in particular is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The golden sands of Wailea Beach offer the perfect setting for any elopement, you can also enjoy stunning sunset views which just ooze romance. There\u2019s also the smaller Napili Bay Beach, ideal for intimate vows accompanied by gentle waves and crystal blue waters. If you\u2019re flying into Maui Airport<\/a> we have a rental car center located right by baggage claim, so you can be straight on your way to marital bliss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Cannon Beach, Oregon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From expansive views of the Pacific Ocean to miles of coastline, the city of Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast is a great location for an elopement. With the iconic landmark, Haystack Rock rising from the shoreline, fresh seafood at a variety of local restaurants, and unbeatable panoramic views, Cannon Beach has plenty to see and do during your time there for your nuptials.

From our range of rental car centers across the U.S.<\/a>, including most airports<\/a>, you can pick up your SIXT rental car with ease. Opt for a spacious rental SUV<\/a> if you have ample luggage, or why not make the most of the tropical climate in a rental convertible<\/a>?
