Plan a beautiful beach picnic on the beach during sunset time for gorgeous golden hour views.
Living near the beach is a privilege that not many people have and yet the folks that live near the beach often don't enjoy it as much as tourists do.
So why not have a beach picnic especially during the summer when the sun sets as late as 8pm, at least that is the case here in Southwest Florida.
Imagine that when the sunset slowly sinks into the sea level and the whole world seems to be dyed with a layer of gold. At this is the perfect time to sit with your family and friends in the picnic area dotted with a neon sign, quietly appreciate this magnificent scene, and feel the flow of time and the charm of nature. If conditions permit, you can even light a bonfire on the beach ( please check with your county first to ensure it is allowed) and let the warm firelight and neon lights interweave, creating a warm and mysterious atmosphere.

How To throw A Sunset Beach Picnic
I bought most of the items on Amazon with the exception for the table as I couldn't find exactly what I wanted on Amazon or Walmart and I was not willing to spend $500 on each table on ETSY. No Way, Rosé! But thankfully, the hubs got skills and he made three tables for me. Asi me gusta, chico.
As for the food we went with a local catering company and one of the girls picked up macaroons from costco.
For this girls sunset beach picnic, I decided to go with a pink and gold theme with white details.
The theme I went for was Pink Boho Chic and I set up the time of the event according to sunset. It is incredible the information you can get with Google. Simply type the day, year and location right along with sunset time and you will have that information right away.
I also made sure to look into all the beach restrictions of the location I chose to ensure I didn't violate any policies and had to be forced to shut down the picnic. For example, the location chosen didn't allow glasses so I made sure to buy all BPA free plastic containers to hold beverages and all dinnerware was made of acrylic.
Here's the final result of our work, we think we did pretty good for our first beach picnic. What do you think?
I have linked everything we got on Amazon in case you want to get it for your beach picnic too. If you are interested in having a table built for you, please send me an email for further discussion.
Now as for the food, we went with a local grazing board company that also offers hot meals.

Thanks for providing this review. I too used the 67 steps to make some realizations, change some behaviors, and change my life some by changing my business practices. Buying it agin for myself and my now adult kids!. Have an awesome day! Cool site… I will come back soon.
I also got my cranberry hibiscus at Echo in Ft. Myers over 13 years ago and I love that they still pop up in my yard. I've been trying to find the exact macros this plant provides to your diet but all I ever come up with is info on either the tea or the flowers. I use the leaves in my salads daily when its growing fresh in my yard. I do prefer the smaller leaves for salad. Any additional info you may have is appreciated!
