Carla and Tad didn’t jump back on the plane to Oklahoma immediately after their gorgeous April beach front wedding. They took a few long days for honeymoon romance and relaxation. Carla says, “We spent a majority of our time relaxing on the beautiful Bucuti Resort beach. We took walks down the beach and watched the sunset most evenings.”

They did a little exploring outside the resort, “We took an all island tour and visited the local landmarks. We really enjoyed seeing the island. We also shopped at the local open air market. Which was a great place to buy souvenirs. Downtown had some great shopping as well.”

A few evenings they took one of the local shuttle buses from Eagle Beach where the resort is located to nearby Palm Beach, which has a lot of the bigger hotels and tons of shops and dining options.

She adds, “We had a great sunset meal at a downtown restaurant called Pelican’s Nest on Pelican Pier. Our table was on the water. We watched the fish surface looking for food. It was a great experience and the seafood was amazing.”

They also loved Pizza Bob’s right near Bucuti Beach Resort. She says, “It was a great little pizza shack located within walking distance of the Bucuti. They had great pizza and was a great place to have a cocktail. Some nights they even had live music.”
