Offering temperatures that may climb up to 85 degrees, the sun will be shining down, and your Franke Rentals holiday hideaway will be offering comfortable adventures that will make you forget all about the uncomfortable weather you’ve been experiencing during the winter months. This guide to planning your Easter on South Padre Island getaway will bring a little sunshine to your seasonal sadness, giving you a little something extra to look forward to!
Building the Perfect Easter Basket
If traveling with children, they may be worried that the Easter Bunny won’t be able to find them, but after you tell them you have an in with the bunny himself, their minds will be put at ease. Of course, that is when your responsibilities begin, but don’t start worrying about packing a basket in your luggage; there are plenty of places you can pick up a basket, and all the goodies, during your South Padre Island vacation. And because you probably won’t want to drag the basket back across the miles, Dollar General, 4400 Padre Boulevard, will certainly be offering baskets inexpensive enough that you won’t feel bad about tossing them after their job is done and many of the goodies with which you may want to fill the baskets.
Sunrise Moments
If you were to stay home for this holiday, a sunrise service at your local church might have been one of your traditions, and it is a tradition you can carry on during your Easter escapades with us. Many of our churches will offer their own sunrise services, and they welcome everyone; Texans sure are a friendly bunch, in case you haven’t already noticed.
But maybe this is the year you want to do it a little differently, and if that’s the case, a sunrise walk along our sandy beaches can make all the difference in your celebration. There is a quiet serenity found in these pre-dawn moments, that time when the sky is still inky black and the waves are gentle. You can feel the chaos you carry in your brain begin to dissipate and the tattered edges of your soul begin to mend. All things are possible when the sun is rising over our South Padre Island beaches and the joy you feel at this moment may lead you into thinking Easter on SPI may be a new family tradition!
Hop on Back to the Beach
Although you may head back to your holiday hideaway for a couple more hours of sleep after the sun rises, warm temperatures, sunny skies, and your beach dreams will encourage you to come back for a day of fun and frolic in the surf. You don’t need us to tell you how to spend your time on the beach, you’ve been dreaming about this for so long that you probably have every minute planned out, but if you want to stick with some sort of Easter theme, we suggest packing ham sandwiches in the cooler you bring down from your rental.
Easter Brunch
There are some holiday traditions that are just too delicious to skip, which means you may be looking for Easter brunch, if you don’t want to prepare it yourself, that is! Many South Padre Island restaurants are going to be open, and many will be serving a holiday meal, including F&B SPI. For $55 per person, guests will enjoy a menu filled with fruit, bagels, omelets, pancakes and even a kids’ menu filled with THEIR favorite dishes. Delicious, filling, and expertly prepared, we look forward to Easter brunch at F&B and we know that it will be a highlight of your vacation experience as well.
