Stunning beach wedding destinations you can consider other than Goa

When I was growing up, I always wanted to have a beach wedding. Everything about being near a water body brings me comfort and joy. The sight and the sound of beach waves, the saltiness in the air and the pleasant breeze of a coastal city or town make me just…happy. I can vouch for the fact that having a beach destination wedding is on the bucket list of many.
