Travel Podcast 9: Best April Vacations
Best April Beaches for an Amazing Beach Vacation

Moorea, French Polynesia


Planning to take your next beach vacation in April? This travel podcast episode discusses the best April vacations you should consider for an amazing April beach vacation. There are plenty of great beaches around the world to choose from in April, but this episode focuses on the top 3 April beach destinations:


Moorea, French Polynesia

  • Volcano formed island that is vaguely in the shape of a heart
  • Direct flight from LAX-Papeete and then a quick 10 minute flight or 30 minute ferry to Moorea
  • April is the last month of the rainy season, which makes it an ideal time to visit:

    • Average high of 84 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Rain usually comes in quick bursts if it comes at all

    • Hello there friend


      Lower crowds so you can find very reasonably priced overwater bungalows


    • Amazing snorkeling all around the island. Walk five feet into the water and you’ll find a wide variety of marine animals

      • Pro Tip: Consider renting a small boat so you can explore the island by yourself and stop for a snorkeling break whenever you see something that catches your eye





Cape Hatteras, North Carolina

  •  Located in the Outer Banks on an island east of Greenville
  • Temperatures generally in the mid 60s

    • Still slightly cool, but that keeps the crowds down to a minimum and allows you to enjoy the gorgeous beaches all to yourself for very reasonable prices


  • Can sometimes be windy in April, which makes Cape Hatteras a great destination for people who enjoy surfing, kite boarding, windsurfing, and flying kites
  • Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, completed in 1870, is the tallest brick lighthouse in North America and provides for great photographs and views
  • More than 70 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline, providing more sandy beach than you could ever need

U.S. Virgin Islands

  • Known as “America’s Paradise”
  • Best weather of the year: high 70s to low 80s and very little rainfall
  • Made up of lots of small islands and three main islands: St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John
  • One of the best sailing destinations in the United States
  • 2/3 of St. John is a national park full of hiking trails
  • Best beaches to visit:

    • Magens Bay Beach (St. Thomas)

      • Half-mile stretch of soft sand
      • Calm water
