What April feels like
April clears out once the season crowd heads north, and everything gets easier: parking, tables, sand. Sea turtle nesting is underway, so the beachfront lighting goes low and amber after dark and the sand feels like a different place.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 79° — bath-warm.
