Why Owen Beach Is Perfect for Elopements and Intimate Weddings
S + C had the perfect intimate wedding surrounded by breathtaking views, salty air, and forest-meets-ocean vibes. Nestled in Tacoma, Washington, this beach offered a serene escape for S + C while they exchanged vows in nature without hiking for hours or venturing too far from amenities. Owen Beach in Point Defiance Park is the perfect spot for elopements or micro weddings and here are 3 reasons why:
- Unbeatable Scenery
Imagine saying "I do" with the Puget Sound stretching behind you, driftwood at your feet, and maybe even Mount Rainier peeking through the clouds on a clear day. The mix of rocky beach, evergreen trees, and soft waves makes it incredibly photogenic.
- Accessibility Meets Seclusion
Owen Beach is easy to access with paved paths and parking nearby, yet it feels surprisingly peaceful. Early mornings or weekdays offer a level of intimacy that’s ideal for micro weddings or elopements.
- Options for Adventure
For semi-adventurous couples, you can add in elements like a short forest walk through Point Defiance Park’s trails, a picnic overlooking the Sound, or even a post-ceremony kayak session (rentals are right at the beach during the warmer months).
