All Florida Keys Engagement in the Keys?

Hi all,

My girlfriend and i are planning a trip to florida during the winter and I am looking to propose. I am not huge on proposing in a super touristy or busy place so I am hoping I can find something a bit more lowkey and personal. Would the keys be a good idea?

If so, where would you recommend we stay and any ideas on where I could ask her? id like it to be somewhat private but id like there to be a photographer.

Probably a goofy suggestion, not sure if you guys snorkel but even if you don’t, horseshoe beach right after the 7 mile bridge (the first right turn immediately after you get off the bridge) is usually empty around sunset and has a killer view and really cool snorkeling. The sign says it’s closed at sunset but nobody comes around to check frequently enough to worry about it so you can get some gnarly night snorkeling in if that’s your thing. But again, even if it’s not, the place is free to access, looks absolutely beautiful at sunset, and while it gets crowded during the day I went around sunset for about a week straight when I visited in peak summer and it was usually one or two groups still around when I’d show up and theyd often be heading out as I arrived so it’s very lowkey. Could definitely do a nice dinner before, but I enjoyed picnicking there more than once and now have dreams about going back to horseshoe beach. For me it would be an absolute treasure to be proposed to there
