Serene, Relaxed Atmosphere
Clifton Beach is a tranquil and sleepy coastal neighbourhood. Being less prominent among Tourists, you can expect to see friendly locals walking their dogs or enjoying a workout along the tropical tree lined Esplanade.
Being more of a residential neighbourhood than a tourism area, Clifton Beach offers a peaceful, laid-back vibe that’s ideal for couples seeking a truly intimate elopement. The quiet streets and uncrowded beaches allow you to focus entirely on each other and the commitment you’re making.
Stunning Sunrise Ceremonies
Imagine exchanging vows as the sun rises over the Coral Sea. A wonderful aspect of Clifton Beach is the opportunity for a breathtaking sunrise elopement. You can exchange your vows as the first rays of sunlight shine across the ocean and the sky begins its colour show.
Early morning elopements not only provide spectacular lighting for your wedding photos but allow you to wed at a cooler time of day while giving you more privacy and a sense of having your picture-perfect part of the beach all to yourselves.
Hidden Gem: Deadmans Gully
For couples looking for a unique spot, Deadmans Gully at the quiet Northern end of Clifton Beach’s Esplanade, makes for a lovely elopement area. You could say ‘I Do’ surrounded by lush tropical vegetation with the gently lapping waves of the ocean in the backdrop creating a romantic atmosphere.
