Affordable Beach Wedding Options

Hey ladies! I’m starting the wedding planning process and I had my 1st venue tour today and the stress is already starting. Ever since I was little I’ve wanted to get married on the beach. I thought it would be simple..... BUTTTTTT! It doesn’t look like it’s going to be as simple as I thought. We want the ceremony on the beach, but reception close by (preferably walking distance). Everywhere I seem to look is either crazy expensive or it’s on the cheaper side and doesn’t offer things such as room to get ready in before or set up for the ceremony on the beach. So my question is ... has anyone found a hidden gem that offers a beautiful beach ceremony and reception all in one? (Jacksonville, Florida area) willing to travel, but nothing drastic. Thanks in advance!
