Alright, need a little help. Fiancé and I get married August 8th. We are worried that our passports aren’t going to make it to us on time due to the virus for a Bahamas honeymoon.
with that said, we are preparing to have to go somewhere in the US or a US territory.
please leave any advice or recommendations for beach/tropical places we could go without a passport.
thanks and go!

Come on down to the S.C. Lowcountry and have your honeymoon on Hilton Head Island.
If you are looking for beaches, Destin! The beaches are great, they have a lot of options for food, and plenty of great places to drink.
Key West
I’m with Lowcountry on this one. Hilton Head has been a family favorite of ours for decades. You can ride bikes, fish, golf, eat at good restaurants, and enjoy the beaches.
If you make it out of your room.....
US Virgin Islands
Fly to St. Thomas which has great nightlife and restaurants. If you want something more secluded you can take a boat to St. John.
Thanks.. This is a spot we were looking at specifically . Familiar with the margaritaville spot/area? Night life in that area?
EDIT: Congrats, best wishes, and good luck, whatever you decide to do!
Great info, thank you!
Wife and I drove highway 1 in California in a convertible. Flew into LA and made our way to Napa. Best thing about wine country is you’re the only honeymooners so everyone buys you wine to celebrate you. We took 3 days to drive up with stops in Santa Barbara, and Carmel. Spent a week in Napa then flew out of San Fran
congrats @Copedawg16! Not sure what you’re looking for exactly, but I’ll second @AnotherDawg and his mention of The Big Island. It’s like an entire country, 8 dif climate zones, great resorts, spots in the Volcano Park where you’re the only people for miles around and everything in between.
second Hawaii. Oahu is a beautiful place. I wish I lived there sometimes. best hot dog I ever had was on the north shore
have y'all already applied for your passport? Even with covid it seems like it should arrive before August
I've been to Hawaii, it was nice. Expensive and a long flight. But it's American, which is easy. HHI is cool, my sister has a house there. No experience with US Virgin Islands, though they'd be my top choice based on your criteria and no passport. There or Puerto Rico.
A slightly similar but different option would be Bar Harbor, Maine. Not tropical but beach/ocean.
Virgin Islands/puerto Rico/Hilton head
Great baseball advice that may also apply here:
2 hands while you’re learning
Dewey House @ Southernmost Resort in Key West.
You walk off your back porch onto the beach.....and someone to make a gourmet breakfast on the porch every morning.
Highly recommended!
Applying today. Website says delays of several months
There is also an expedite option. I’m sure it’s pricey but might be worth it for a honeymoon.
Usually it isnt much more to expedite.
I think you can get it in 2 weeks (before)
unfortunately they are not offering that at this time
Congrats in advance, and no doubt it’s a stressful time to be planning a wedding. A wise man (Coach Kirby) once said “gotta keep the main thing the main thing” and the main thing here is that you and the wife are happy with whatever happens no matter what.
You can go directly to one of the passport offices and have it the next day. Brother-in-law had to do that because the company wanted the expiration 6 months out.
virus probably has that messed up to though
