Living at the beach certainly has it’s perks. For us, that includes seeing the sunrise on the beach. Easter is coming, and there are several local services that will let you do just that.
Bring your blankets and chairs, come casual or in your Sunday best, totally up to you. They’re more relaxed than a formal Sunday service (read: the kids can be a little louder?), and you’ll have one of the best views on the planet for Easter morning. I mean, we might be a little partial, but there’s just nothing better than an Emerald Coast sunrise.
If you’re looking to have your Beach and Easter too, these beach services in and around the Destin area might be for you :
