Easter arrives a little later than usual this year with the Easter Bunny hopping on to Anna Maria Island on April 20th, offering a chance to celebrate, play, and relax without having to deal with grumpy relatives, especially when you choose to stay in our Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals holiday retreats. Our spaces are so comfortable, luxurious and often providing views of the sea that will speak to your soul, you may start to wonder why you never thought to fly this way before. This guide to celebrating Easter 2025 on Anna Maria Island will help you fill all the
minutes with fun, excitement, and adventure.
Sunrise at the Beach
The sunrise service has been an integral part of many people’s Easter and there will be many opportunities for you to do just that during your Easter stay on Anna Maria Island, or you could celebrate in your own way with a walk along shore’s edge as the world awakens around you. There is a quiet joy that can be found in rising before the sun, perhaps sitting on the white sands for a few minutes watching the moon take cover and listening to the crash of waves against the beach. Starting your walk as the midnight black skies begin to lighten, the sun turning to fire, before lighting up the world with gold flames against blue. This is a sight we have seen many times in our years on the island, but each time is like the first time, making us believe in greater things, just as the sunrise services may do for others.
Since You Are Already Here
Once the show is finished, there is no need to return to your holiday hideaway (unless you want a little more sleep, that is), especially since the weather will be warm and the waters may call to you. A day on the beach is a good idea at any time of the year, so fill a cooler with ham sandwiches, slip into your pastel-colored swimsuits, and stake your claim on the section of white sand that calls to you. And instead of building a sandcastle, why not create a sand Easter Bunny, perhaps surrounded by a selection of sand Easter eggs? The possibilities for a memorable holiday are endless on the beaches of Anna Maria Island!
Annual Easter Egg Roll and Bonnet Contest
There isn’t any information about this event for 2025 as of yet, but the annual Easter egg roll and bonnet contest on Pine Avenue is an event we look forward to every year! Watching the kiddos roll colorful eggs across the white sands using a ladle or large spoon to help it along, taking part in the Easter bonnet contest, and savoring sun, sand, and the celebration of this spring holiday, the all-around good cheer and small town charm of our annual Easter celebration will impact you in ways you never dreamed possible. The Easter Bunny has made an appearance here every year, so you can tell your kiddos not to worry; he will know where you are when it comes time to leave a basket filled with goodies.
Brunch at the Beach House Waterfront Restaurant, 200 Gulf Drive N in Bradenton Beach
Easter 2025 On Anna Maria Island wouldn’t be complete without brunch. Easter brunch is a holiday tradition that doesn’t have to be missed while vacationing on Anna Maria Island, and the Beach House Waterfront Restaurant is just one of many local restaurants sure to offer a feast. Open at 11 and offering a menu filled with sustainable food choices, there is no word yet as to what their Easter feaster is going to offer, but we’ve been going there for many years and will continue to return for many more to come; their food is that good!
Celebrate at Home with Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals
Celebrating Easter 2025 on Anna Maria Island is destined to be the second best choice you have made this year and if you’re wondering what the first best choice was, there is no need to wait any longer. Choosing Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals as your Easter retreat was quite obviously a wise choice, offering all the ways to celebrate and none of the hassles you may deal with at home. Our beautiful kitchens are equipped with name brand appliances and a cheerful vibe, ensuring that meal prep stays fun and not too chore-ish. But if the thought of being cooped up in the kitchen while the sun shines on your family outside seems a bit too much, never fear, our backyards are also equipped with barbecue grills in our standalone properties, while our condos may offer a community grilling section.
