What to pack

What April feels like

April is the quiet reward for anyone who doesn't need to swim — warm enough to sit out on the sand, empty enough to park anywhere on Coastal Highway. The ocean is still weeks away from being any fun, and the Springfest crowds don't turn up until the first weekend of May.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 53° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
