Our take on April
Our pick for a beach holiday. The water has warmed into the upper 70s °F, it is still in the dry season, and crowds thin after Easter. Pride fills South Beach for a weekend, and the Grand Prix can fall at the very end of the month.
Events in April
- Miami Beach Pride, Lummus Park and Ocean Drive.
Next: April 10–11, 2027.
Festival weekend and Sunday parade at the end of about ten days of events. Busy South Beach weekend with parade road closures. Organiser - Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, Miami International Autodrome, Miami Gardens.
Next: April 30 – May 2, 2027.
Race weekend, Friday to Sunday. Sharp rise in hotel prices across Miami Beach, Brickell and Downtown. Organiser
For the beach in April
- The water is refreshing, comfortable for most swimmers.
- Mostly dry; cold fronts can bring breezy days with rough surf and higher rip-current risk.
