Postcard Inn on the Bay in Islamorada captures the quintessential spirit of the Florida Keys — a boutique resort directly on Florida Bay in the heart of the Sport Fishing Capital of the World, where the sunsets over the backcountry waters are among the most spectacular in the entire Keys chain. The resort's waterfront ceremony space, private beach area on the bay, mature tropical plantings, and genuinely relaxed atmosphere provide an authentic destination wedding experience that contrasts beautifully with more polished resort properties. Islamorada's world-class fishing, excellent restaurants, and natural beauty add to the appeal for guests building a full destination wedding weekend.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from ISLAMORADA, 2.6 miles away.
