Family beach days are among the simplest yet special happenings; many people keep these experiences close to their hearts for a lifetime. Whether that compelling beach is near home or on islands in the Caribbean like Turks & Caicos and Jamaica, the mesmerizing blues of the sea, glistening white sand, and contagious laughter of the ones you love at the beach tend to leave an imprint on your soul.

If you’ve got a family beach day on the horizon with immediate or extended family and want to make it extra special, check out our 33 best family beach games that are perfect for an exciting beach day!

Expert tip: What are family beach games without the right beach destination? Here are some family vacation ideas to consider that’ll be fun for everyone!

33 Fun Family Beach Games

Looking for Sandals Resorts travel agents? We offer the best prices and packages, including airfare to and from destination, airport transfers, excursions and activities, travel insurance and so much more.

1. Water bucket relay

A water bucket relay will be a great way to get the excitement started on the beach. If you’re traveling with family, you can split into teams of at least two. Each team should have a bucket of water, and you can use spoons, shells, or any convenient tool of your choice to scoop water from the sea into your bucket. Do this in turns within teams. The winning relay title goes to whichever team fills their bucket first!

2. Limbo

Limbo is good fun no matter the setting. All you’ll need for some good beachside limbo action is a pool noodle, or perhaps even some driftwood. You can set the stage for some exciting rounds of limbo, music included. A portable speaker playing festive music will help everyone really get into the game. Young and old can participate in beach limbo on some level, and you can make the game progressively more challenging. How low can you go?

Picture: The expansive white-sand shores of Seven Mile Beach make an excellent venue for your family beach games! Exciting all-inclusive family resorts like Beaches Negril give you access to the Seven Mile Beach plus a world of fabulous amenities like anytime meals and snacks, day and night entertainment, a waterpark, lazy river, and swim-up soda bars - always included, always unlimited!

3. Seashell hunt

Seashells are often available in abundance on the beach, so why not make a fun activity that includes searching for shells? A seashell hunt works best on a beach with lots of shells, so this is something you can do some research about before you go. The objective of a seashell hunt will be to see who can find the most shells or the biggest shells in a set amount of time. When everyone is done finding shells, give points for the number of shells, the types of shells as well as shapes, sizes, and colors.

Expert tip: Make this experience fun for little kids as well by letting them in on some conch shell magic. Did you know you can hear the sound of the ocean inside a large conch shell? The kids will love listening in!


4. Frisbee

A game of Frisbee on the beach won’t be too complicated to organize. All you’ll really need to do is pop one into your bag at some point while you’re packing, and you’ll have everything you need for an invigorating game at the seashore. The best kind of Frisbee will be lightweight and buoyant, so you can find it easily if it gets tossed into the water. Once you’re out on the beach, split into teams and enjoy some good family fun.

5. Rounders/cricket

Rounders or cricket at the beach is a great option for large families, particularly those with older kids. These games tend to involve quite a bit of running around, so it's best to play when it isn’t too hot out. A good rule of thumb when planning to play rounders/cricket on the beach is to choose a beach that isn’t too busy so that others aren’t inconvenienced if your ball goes astray.

6. Fly a kite

Kite flying is something you can plan out way ahead of your beach day in order to get everyone involved. If you’re traveling with family, you can opt to get a kite for everyone old enough to fly one, even letting your kids pick out their own. Handmade kites are an option as well. As you plan your kite flying beach day, keep in mind that the best kite flying days will be those that are very windy, so it may be a little too cool to take a dip.

7. Dig a hole

Digging holes in the sand almost seems to come naturally to kids at the beach, so why not make a game out of it? Can your kids make their own pool in the sand? How deep and wide can you all dig if you dig together? Get everyone in on the fun and when you’re done, take a photo of everyone standing inside the hole.

Expert tip: Dig away from the tide to avoid your hole filling back up too quickly.


8. Volleyball

Beach volleyball is a sunny day beach classic and you and the kids can enjoy a few rounds of this game on a beautiful beach day. You’ll need at least two players to get a game of beach volleyball going, but if there are more people in your group it's even better. If you’ve got a really large group, you can even try a round of beach volleyball with adults versus kids!

Picture: Beaches includes more land sports than any other resorts in the Caribbean, so there are no limits to what you can play, when you can play.

9. Towel tug of war

Kids, for whatever reason, love playing tug of war, and out on the beach, you can stir up their competitive side with mention of this challenge. You’ll need at least two players to get this game started, but it’s more fun with four or more people. Start things off by putting a marker on the sand — a digging toy, bucket, or pool noodle can be ideal. The best of 3 out of 5 rounds wins!

Beach Activities Tug War

10. Sand angels

If you’ve heard of snow angels, then you’ve likely also heard of sand angels. In case you haven’t, making angels in the sand is a real possibility. All you’ll need to do is get a spot in the sand, lay down, and proceed to use some ‘starfish’ action to create your angel. When you and the kids are done, you can use pebbles and shells to decorate your sand angels.

Good to know: Making sand angels is a great way to warm up after taking a dip in the ocean.


11. Treasure hunt

Much like seashell hunting, a treasure hunt on the beach is a great way to keep kids occupied. The difference between these two games is that for a treasure hunt, you’ll have more say in what the kids will find along the way if you place some items beforehand. Or, you can go the natural route and search with the kids to see what you all can find — anything from shells and pebbles to various flora and fauna.

Beach Activities treasure Hunt

If you hide the items for your family treasure hunt yourself, you can create a list of things the kids should look for and direct them to the area they should search. The winner of the beach treasure hunt can be the person who gets the most varied items (if you go the natural route), or whoever finds the most items from your list.

12. Soccer

Grab a soccer ball and head to the beach for some sports action. This is a great way to get the whole family involved and all you’ll need, in addition to a ball, are a few markers in the ground for goals. Things like towels, buckets, sand mounds, or castles can be used to mark out goals. Split up into teams into a minimum of four players and start tossing the ball around. With the recommended amount of players, you’ll have two goalkeepers and two strikers, but the more players the merrier with this beach game. Five players on each side are ideal if you can manage it!

Expert tip: Want to plan a fun-filled vacation with older kids? These tween-friendly vacations will be met with immediate smiles!


13. Musical towels

Heard of musical chairs? Well, musical towels is a similar concept. All you’ll need to get the musical towels party started is a portable speaker, some good music, and beach towels. Spare clothing can also come in handy if you don’t have enough towels. The same rules of musical chairs apply to musical towels. Anyone in your family who is old enough can take turns being in charge of the music and removing the towels as you go along.

14. Sand mermaids

Making sand mermaids on the beach can be fun. This activity works best when one family member agrees to be the model. Have the model sit or lay in the sand and cover them up to their chest or waist. Once that’s done, you can have fun shaping a mermaid’s tail around their legs. Decorate mermaid tails with seashells, seaweed, pebbles, and other beachside finds. Be sure to take photos to capture the memories. Funny poses are recommended!

15. Paint rocks

If you’re planning a beach day with the kids, but you’re not necessarily going to swim, it helps to have some fun activities planned. One of these activities can be rock painting. You’ll have to plan ahead for this activity as you’ll need supplies such as brushes and acrylic paints. You can choose a beach theme, gather some rocks with the kids, and then settle in for some painting. Play around with form and color, and perhaps even try painting a sunset, sunrise, underwater scene, or something completely abstract.

16. Hoop toss/ring toss

Hoop toss or ring toss is a game that will definitely bring out the competitive side in members of your family. You can play this game in a group or split into two teams. Play to see who can score the most points. You can purchase packaged ring toss games, or you can get creative and make your own. Consider including prizes to up the excitement factor!

17. Float race

Floats make a day at the beach or the pool extra exciting, so why not bring them along for a family beach extravaganza? You can use the floats to set up some fun water races from one end of the beach to the other. Stay close to shore, especially when younger kids are involved. If the water isn’t calm, or if your group doesn’t include strong swimmers, then this activity may not be ideal.

18. Draw what you see

Want to set up an artsy beach day? You can arrange a drawing challenge for your family where everyone is required to draw what they see. All you’ll need is some paper, pencils/pens, and some fluid imagination. This activity is great for kids of all ages, but older kids might make a better attempt at recreating beautiful beach scenery. Kids can draw what they see, and even throw in some extras like dolphins, whales, mermaids, and even pirate ships. When all is said and done, you’ll be able to take your creations home and maybe even frame them!

Expert tip: Planning a family reunion? Consider a family reunion vacation in the Caribbean! A relaxing beach atmosphere might be just what you need so that everyone can unwind and get into fun beach games too!


19. Beach ball relay

An active beach day can include a beach ball relay, for which you’ll need a minimum of four players. This game works for kids of all ages, and adults will be able to have a great time as well. The beach ball relay will involve passing a beach ball between your knees and seeing which team can complete the task the fastest. Smaller teams can work on beating their best time, while larger groups will be able to race to the finish.

20. Big beach clean-up

Want to teach your kids a lesson on caring for the environment? A good way to do this would be to get the whole family involved in a beach clean-up activity. You might even be able to make a game out of it — whoever can fill their bag with the most trash gets a prize. Keep your kids safe during this activity by equipping them with gloves and keeping them supervised.

21. Buried treasure

Have a pirate-themed beach day and spend some time searching for buried treasure. You can use play or real coins and bury these in the sand, or even go the extra mile and find a makeshift treasure chest that you can fill with goodies. Give the kids shovels and let them dig to find the treasure. To make the game feel more authentic, create a treasure map with clues and hand one out to each participant.

22. Beach family photoshoot

Want to take advantage of the picture-perfect beach scenery with some amazing family photos? Set up a pre-planned or spontaneous beach photoshoot on your own. You can set your camera or phone timer and get the settings just right for the perfect beachside snaps, or you can let the kids be photographers for the day. You all can also take some silly selfies together to capture the moments.

Picture: Relive your treasured vacations moments for years to come! Get the family all dressed up and let our professional photographer take you on a journey to capture the most incredible time of your life!

23. I Spy

I Spy can be a fun way to keep kids occupied on the beach. Younger kids, especially, will enjoy this game that involves guessing various beach sightings in the vicinity using simple clues. Use themes like colors, nature, or items we brought to the beach. Keep things easy for younger kids and add more variation for older kids.

24. Build a sand fort

From the pillow fort at home to the sand fort out on the beachfront, your kids will love having some super cozy times at the beach. The whole family can get involved in the fort-building efforts with a few spades and buckets. You can find ideas on Pinterest for various types of forts that you can make together.

25. Sharks and minnows

Sharks and minnows is a swimming game that’s most suited for older kids. This game can also be modified to be played on the sand if there are younger kids involved. To play this game, you should select a ‘shark’ out of the group who will be tasked with ‘tagging’ the minnows when they attempt to get onto the shore. This game usually requires a referee to make those close calls, so adults can take turns filling that position!

26. Pictionary

Pictionary is familiar to most people, but out on the beach, this game can be played a little differently. No pen and paper are necessary! Instead, you can just make shapes on the sand with things like seashells, pebbles, seaweed, or driftwood. Each player will take turns drawing whatever comes to mind as everyone else tries to guess what it is before the drawing is completed. Whoever identifies the object in the drawing first will be declared the winner, and that person will be next to draw/make their own creation in the sand. Pictionary can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.

27. Dodgeball

Looking for something different to do on this beach trip? Take some dodgeball action to the seashore! This option is most ideal if you’ll be spending some time on the beach with older kids and teenagers who can get bored easily. You can get everyone together and compete in teams for prizes. Use a beach ball to reduce the likelihood of injuries. This game is ideal for big groups and teams.

Expert tip: Teen-friendly vacations can take a bit of extra planning. Here are some vacation ideas for families with teenagers that’ll help keep boredom at bay.

28. TikTok dance - beach style

Take a break from the beach action for some good ol’ TikTok. Most kids won’t say no to this activity, especially if they’re already fans of TikTok. You can get together and make a family-style TikTok dance. These types of videos are just as fun to make as they are to watch over and over when you all get home. Try different dances, and if grandparents are on this beach trip as well, see if the kids can persuade them to be part of the fun!

Beach Activities TikTok

29. Noughts and crosses

Also known as tic-tac-toe or Xs and Os, you can play noughts and crosses in the sand with your family during your beach day. Only two players are needed to play this game, so it is suitable for small beach groups as well. Make your game of noughts and crosses more interesting by adding prizes for the person with the most wins after a certain number of rounds.

30. Twenty questions

A game of 20 questions will be embraced by older kids and teens who can easily wrap their minds around the rules. You’ll need a minimum of two players for this game, and once you’ve got enough people, you can quickly get things underway. Start by choosing an individual. You can choose someone you all know personally or even a celebrity! After you have chosen, the other players will have to guess who you picked by asking no more than 20 questions about them.

31. Sand hangman

When was the last time you played hangman? If it’s been a while, sand hangman might just be the perfect reintroduction. The rules of the game are the same with the exception that pen and paper are swapped for sand and a branch. Use simple words when playing with younger kids, and go harder with teenagers and adults. For teens and adults, you can also use phrases, lyrics, and things along those lines.

32. Rockpool search

Are there lots of rock pools on the beach you’ve selected? If so, it’ll be perfect for a rock pool search game. Kids of all ages will love a chance to put their observational skills to the test scouring the rock pools for signs of life. See if you can find any critters in the rock pools, and as you all search together, use the experience as an opportunity to teach kids about the animals that live on and around the beach.

33. Sandcastles

You can’t go wrong with some sandcastle building on the beach with kids. There are many ways you can go about this classic activity, from simply going the freestyle route and building your sandcastle by hand, or getting various sandcastle molds to make your creation extra special. Fairytale and pirate themes can provide great inspiration for sandcastle building projects, and you’re free to make them as big or as complex as you like!

Expert tip: Sandcastle building is not only fun but it can be educational for kids as well. You can teach young kids how they can make solid sandcastles with just the right amount of water and sand.


And don’t forget our top beach tips…

1. Sunblock is necessary

Sunburn is the worst, especially on a family vacation. Avoid this nuisance by putting on lots of full-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen (with SPF 50 and above). Reapply often for yourself and the kids, just as much as everyone gets in and out of the water. Older kids can reapply themselves (though they’ll typically need reminders from you!).

2. Hats and sunglasses are recommended

Help kids stay cool with hats, preferably those that cover the sensitive areas of their face and their ears as well. Sunshades and other sun protectant gear will also come in handy on extra sunny days.

3. Sometimes windbreakers are needed

If you’re headed to a windier beach, windbreakers will come in handy to protect you and your kids from the elements.

4. Avoid the midday sun, where possible

The best time to go to the beach is usually in the early morning before 10 am, or later in the afternoon from 3 pm onwards. The hours between 10 am and 2 pm tend to be peak sun times, though this can vary depending on your destination.

5. Be observant

It goes without saying that you should be extra vigilant when going to the beach with kids. You’ll need to stay alert at all times, especially when younger kids are in and near the water. Keep an eye on older children as well, and educate them on things like riptides and other possible dangers on the beach.

6. Keep your devices safe

Waterproof cases or pouches are a great way to keep your devices safe and dry if you decide to bring them on the beach with you. If you think it’ll be too much of a hassle to bring them along, leave your devices in your hotel room or at home.

7. Bring lots of water

Spending hours on the beach in the sunshine is a sure way to build up a thirst. Bring along plenty of water and juice for yourself and the kids, especially if you’ll be going to a beach that isn’t near any shops or restaurants. Pack some snacks as well and make sure not to leave any trash behind when you leave the beach.

Expert tip: When planning a beach vacations with a toddler or vacations with a baby, these kid-friendly vacations are highly recommended!


Family beach games are great for bonding and creating memories!

There are so many things you can do on a beach with family, aside from just swimming and playing in the sand. Depending on which beach you go to, you can try water sports, play some beach games, make sandcastles, and just let loose and have a good time.

We hope we’ve helped you find fun things to do with your family on your next beach day. If this beach day happens to lead you to the Caribbean, it's worth noting that this region has some incredible all-inclusive family resorts. Beaches Resorts has the best kids clubs, nurseries for babies and toddlers, a Beach Shack for teens, a waterpark, and lots of super fun activities for kids and parents on and off the beach!

Picture: Dive into a one-of-a-kind, unbelievably exciting Beaches all-inclusive Turks & Caicos vacation for the whole family.

Right now is the best time there is for your family to play together and laugh together. Make the most of your time on the beautiful seashore, and enjoy the lasting memories.

Expert tip: Heading on vacation with family and not sure what to pack? Here’s our ultimate family beach vacation packing list.

Some of our destination weddings

Kate and Curtis - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Sandals Grande, St. Lucia, Large Group, Destination Wedding

I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!

Michael and Shawana Rowles - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Destination Wedding

Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.

Playa Del Carmen, Large Group, Destination Wedding

Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!

From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!

Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!

Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!

Leah and Kell Flynn - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding

My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.

Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.

Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!

The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.

Puerto Vallarta wedding travel agent
Darby Brown - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding

I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again, Darby Brown

Juliet D. - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding

Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason

SECRETS PLAYA MUJERES destination wedding review
Vivian and James Chevrier - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding

I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.

As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.

Jenni Johnson - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding

Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!

Sara Thompson - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding

My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.

Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!

I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!

Saundra Ogden - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding

Our Dream Wedding!

Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.

We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!

Casey Morris - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding

My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.

Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.

Mindy Huffman - All Inclusive Beach Wedding

My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!

"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"

The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.

Thank you again for all of your help!!!

Our Dream Wedding!

As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!

I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!

Marty Hill - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding

This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!

Tiffany Phillips - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding

I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
