April is one of our favorite months in Destin, Florida. The weather is warming up, the spring flowers are blooming, and the Gulf is calling your name. If you’re planning a beach getaway to one of our condos in Destin this April, here’s your guide to what the weather’s really like—and what to toss in your suitcase (besides your flip-flops and sunscreen, of course).
What’s the Weather Like in April?
In a word: glorious.
April in Destin is that sweet spot between spring break madness and the summer hustle. Here’s what you can typically expect:
- Average high: 76–78°F (hello, beach weather!)
- Average low: 60–63°F (perfect for breezy evening walks)
- Water temperature: around 70°F—cool but totally doable for a dip
- Rainfall: A few light spring showers may sneak in, but they rarely stick around long
The sunshine is strong, the humidity is still mild, and most days are picture-perfect for lounging on the sand, exploring the harbor, or sipping margaritas on a Gulf-view balcony.
What to Pack for Your Destin Trip in April
Whether you’re staying at a pet-friendly condo in Miramar Beach or a Gulf-front retreat in Destin, you’ll want to be beach-ready and weather-flexible. Here’s a handy packing checklist:
Beach Must-Haves

- Sunglasses & sunhat
- Reef-safe sunscreen (yes, even in spring!)
- Flip-flops or sandals

For Exploring
