The town feels less crowded than Miami or Fort Lauderdale, yet offers comparable nightlife and activities. It’s the sweet spot for bachelorette planning.

Bachelorette Planning Tips

• Book 4-6 weeks in advance. Summer and holiday seasons fill quickly.
• Reserve restaurant tables and activity spots early. Popular experiences book fast, especially for groups.
• Hire a party bus or shuttle service. Keeps the group together and eliminates drunk-driving risk.
• Designate a coordinator. One person manages logistics—vastly reduces stress for everyone.
• Set budget expectations upfront. Clear communication on shared costs prevents financial tension.
• Have a backup rainy-day plan. Indoor activities keep energy high if weather turns.
