Beach or Sandbar: Where to Elope on Holbox
The wild car-free island beach against the surreal sandbars that appear out of the shallow turquoise sea. Two faces of Holbox, and two very different ceremonies.
You book Holbox for the beach and assume that is the whole island.
The most surreal frames here are on sandbars in the middle of the sea.
Holbox gives a wild island beach and floating sandbars, and they make two completely different ceremonies.
(Continued on Page 2, Col. 1)
Holbox is a car-free island of sand streets, bohemian calm, and long wild beaches, with warm shallow water, flamingos, and bioluminescence at night. A beach ceremony here is relaxed, barefoot, and framed by the island's laid-back soul.
The island beach
Holbox is a car-free island of sand streets, bohemian calm, and long wild beaches, with warm shallow water, flamingos, and bioluminescence at night. A beach ceremony here is relaxed, barefoot, and framed by the island's laid-back soul.
The sandbars
Off the island, the sea is so shallow that sandbars rise out of the turquoise water, ribbons of white sand with warm water on both sides and nothing else in sight. A ceremony out on a sandbar, reached by boat, feels like standing in the middle of the ocean, and it is the surreal, signature Holbox frame.
Choose the beach for relaxed island soul, the sandbar for the surreal middle-of-the-sea frame, or pair them across a day. As your Elopement Curator I plan the day, arrange the boat, coordinate the ceremony, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the two are the grounded and the surreal faces of Holbox.
