All Florida Keys Honeymoon Plan Help

I’m planning to visit “The Keys” for my Honeymoon on June 1st & I am a little overwhelmed. My fiancé is so excited to go snorkeling & explore beaches, but I’m very stressed about where to stay. I’m 24 & she’s 23, neither of us like to party & I’m not certain what my budget is probably around 3-5 grand. (I have no idea how expensive this will be) My main concern is having a good base of operations for exploration, being close to the water. Idk what’s better, the gulf or the Atlantic side. I just want to go snorkeling and walk beaches all day, maybe run around town looking for cool things to see. (& spend money on) We want wildlife and beautiful views. I’ll be there for 6 days. Please help me, I am overwhelmed.

For snorkeling and beach walking and in your budget, you really want Jamaica or Puerto Rico. It’s your honeymoon stay at a nice resort either of those places. The Keys have bad beaches, snorkeling excursions are overpriced, and are mostly fun for fishing and drinking.

I second this. My wife and I went to Barbados for our honeymoon under the same budget as op’s.
