Are you spending your Easter weekend on the islands? If so, we’ve got your inside scoop on the best celebrations, activities and traditions for your Caribbean Easter experience. Here are a few of our top picks:
Go beach camping
Beach camping during the Easter season is a popular activity on many Caribbean islands, especially on Aruba and St. Maarten. This tradition has been around for decades, and locals and tourists alike take part in the experience. Beaches will be full of tents during the week leading up to Easter Sunday, with tons of families enjoying their campouts and reconnecting with the beach environment. There will also be a lot of great activities, like beach tennis and soccer competitions, live music from local artists and entertainment from fellow campers.
Fly a kite
On Barbados, kite flying is a unique Easter tradition that takes place on Good Friday. People of all ages join together to participate in kite-flying competitions and challenges with both store-bought and homemade kites, and it is definitely worth seeing if you’re on the island. The sky will be full of bright colors, and the lively energy will put you in a festive mood!
