Dine Out for Easter Brunch
When you spend your Easter vacation on Anna Maria Island, you’ll find you have plentiful options for getting in a little Easter brunch! Try the Rod and Reel Pier for a meal with a gorgeous, sweeping view of the bay and ocean beyond. Sip on a mimosa, and browse their extensive breakfast menu, including southern classics like sides of grits and home fries. The Waterfront Restaurant offers a brunch menu with similar views, and craft cocktails. The Sandbar is another popular local spot boasting gorgeous views of the Gulf and is another great option for Easter Brunch! In the past The Sandbar has also hosted a morning Easter egg hunt for the kids. Just be sure to make your reservations ahead of time to be safe!
Those looking to attend a local Easter service will find several options from different denominations right on the island. The Kiwanis Club hosts a sunrise service at Manatee County Public Beach and is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The CrossPointe Fellowship Baptist Church holds an Easter Sunday service, while the Episcopal Church also offers a celebratory Sunday service. Other options in town include the Floria Dei Lutheran Church, as well as Saint Bernard’s Catholic Church. As you can see, when you travel to Anna Maria Island for Easter, you have plenty of options for Easter services!
Days Relaxing on the Beach
Of course, a huge part of an Easter beach vacation is lounging on the beach, and on Anna Maria Island you’ll find an assortment of beaches all up and down the island. At the northern tip of the island, you’ll find Bean Point, a beach with a slightly more remote vibe that’s traditionally a little less crowded than popular spots like Manatee County Public Beach, which is in the middle of the island. Bayfront Park offers a little bit of bayside recreation, while Coquina Beach down in Bradenton Beach is always a lively spot, and offers eateries right on the sand, such as the Coquina Beach Café. Another seaside dining option in Bradenton Beach includes Gulf Drive Café, and Beach Bistro in Holmes Beach.
Stop by the Anna Maria Island Farmer’s Market on Saturday to pick up some fresh eggs and materials for making Easter dinner, and on Sunday have an Easter Egg hunt at your very own vacation rental! With lush backyards and perfectly landscaped spaces, it’s a great idea for a bit of Easter fun right in the home, without the trouble of finding a local event to attend. Our vacation rentals offer plenty of features made for enjoying outdoor spaces, from BBQ grills to extensive outdoor seating where you can host your own Easter brunch or dinner. Other outdoor features you might find in our vacation rentals include private heated pools, jacuzzies, outdoor balconies, pool toys, beach gear, and more!
