Miami Beach, Florida is a top pick in April. The weather is reliably warm, the water is swimmable, and spring break crowds are tapering off by mid-month. You’ll find vibrant nightlife, beautiful Art Deco architecture, and plenty of space to soak up the sun.

Cape Hatteras, North Carolina offers wide, quiet beaches in April, perfect for long walks and kite flying. It’s part of the Outer Banks, with a more laid-back vibe than other coastal spots. While the water may be chilly, the beauty and serenity are unbeatable.

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware begins to wake up in April. While it’s not quite swim season yet, the boardwalk opens, shops are active, and it’s less crowded than summer months. It’s a great time to enjoy the beach town atmosphere without the chaos.

St. Augustine Beach, Florida offers warm spring weather, less crowding than more famous beaches, and historic charm. With its wide shoreline and nearby Spanish architecture, it’s ideal for those who want both beach time and cultural exploration in April.

Tybee Island, Georgia usually has water temperatures edging toward swimmable in late April. The beach is casual and scenic, with dolphins often spotted offshore. It’s a great base for visiting nearby Savannah while enjoying quieter sands.

Amelia Island, Florida features 13 miles of uncrowded beaches with warm weather in April. The combination of upscale resorts, charming downtown Fernandina Beach, and natural beauty makes it perfect for couples looking to unwind in a peaceful setting.

Assateague Island, Maryland offers unique scenery and wild ponies wandering the beach. While it’s too cold to swim comfortably in April, it’s ideal for hiking, birdwatching, and photography—plus, no bugs yet! It’s a nature-focused escape unlike anywhere else on the coast.
