The beaches are absolutely stunning in the springtime. By the time Easter rolls around, you can expect sunny days, warmer temperatures, and fewer crowds (compared to the summer months).

2. Order Delicious Food From Local Restaurants
Amelia Island’s culinary scene is not to be missed! Our charming little island is home to some of the most amazing cuisine in the Southeast. Many restaurants will offer Easter Sunday takeout meals.

Not only will you enjoy being outdoors in the sun, but you’ll get to experience some of the local flora and fauna up close!
4. Make Time to Relax
There’s no better way to enhance your vacation than with an indulgent spa day. Unwind at one of the best spas on the island! Treat yourself to a luxurious deep-tissue massage or a customized facial. Allow yourself to be pampered before you return home from your Florida Easter getaway.
