Easter makes a perfect time to hit the beach with warm spring days, lots of activities and plenty of family time built into your vacation.

This year Easter Sunday is April 12, so start making your plans now to enjoy the sea, sun and sand. The beach is one reason to escape to a resort on Kiawah Island, Isle of Palms or Sullivan’s Island, but there are lots of other things to appreciate about Easter on a South Carolina island.


Kiawah Island

The slate of Easter activities starts with an Easter Sunrise at 6:45 a.m. on April 12 at Sanctuary Beach. A non-denominations service is hosted by the Church of Our Savior, an Anglican community.

Then the kids can enjoy an Easter Egg Hunt and Toss starting at 10 a.m. at Night Heron Park on Easter Sunday, April 12. Age groups will be divided prior to the hunt, which starts promptly at 10 a.m. (Bring your own basket). The Easter Egg toss directly follows the Egg Hunt. You can also get a photo with the Easter Bunny starting at 9:30 a.m. Admission is free.

Later on Easter Sunday, the Sand Sculpting Contest takes place from 1:30 to 3 p.m., also at the Sanctuary Beach Access, with prizes awarded for most creative, best teamwork and best Easter-themed sculpture.

Then an unusual Easter event takes place from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Night Heron Park Children’s Pool with an H2O Egg Hunt. Jump into the pool and search your way around for the Easter Eggs. This event is complimentary and open to everyone.

All the resort restaurants will be serving special Easter meals, so make a reservation. Book your stay now in one of our luxurious Kiawah Island vacation rentals.
