Easter is Sunday, April 9. In the Florida Keys, church-goers will make their way to small, sandy beaches for several services taking place as the sun rises. There are also the traditional services at churches spanning the Upper Keys. And don’t forget about the pictures with the Easter bunny and some delicious breakfast plates at local eateries.
