What April is like in Bermuda
April is when Bermuda starts to warm up. Highs reach about 71F (22C), the water sits near 68F (20C), and the wind eases off compared with winter. Hotels and restaurants reopen, crowds are moderate, and prices sit in the middle. The ocean is still bracing, so only hardy swimmers go in, but it is lovely weather for being outdoors all day.
April suits sightseers, walkers, and families who care more about exploring than swimming. Whale season carries on, and Good Friday often falls this month. If you want easy, warm swims for the kids, wait a few weeks: late May and June are the better bet.
Make the most of April
What is especially good about Bermuda this month.
Good Friday kite flying
Bermudians fly colorful homemade kites on Good Friday and eat codfish cakes on hot cross buns. It is a sweet local tradition worth planning around.
Last weeks of whale season
Humpbacks still pass the island on their way north, roughly through April.
Comfortable sightseeing
Mild days are ideal for the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, and for poking around St. George's on foot.
What to pack for April
- A light sweater for evenings
- A light rain jacket
- Sunscreen, since the sun is stronger than the air suggests
- A kite for the kids if you are there on Good Friday
Our timing tip
If Good Friday falls in April, book your hotel early for that weekend and head to an open park or beach in the afternoon to see the kites.

Things to do in Bermuda
Horseshoe Bay Beach
The classic pink-sand beach, with coves to explore on foot. It gets crowded on cruise and summer weekend days; go early or walk to quieter coves nearby.
St. George's
The historic town and UNESCO site, with Fort St. Catherine and St. Peter's Church. Quieter outside summer cruise days.
Crystal Caves
Underground lakes and formations reached by floating walkways. A good option in any season.
Royal Naval Dockyard and the National Museum of Bermuda
The former British naval base at the West End, now home to the national museum, shops, and the main cruise pier.
Bermuda Railway Trail
A walking and cycling path along the old railway line across the island. Pleasant in the cooler months.
Snorkeling and wreck diving
Church Bay for easy reef snorkeling, and boat dives to wrecks off the island. Best from May to October.
Beat the crowds
- Check the cruise schedule: Dockyard, Horseshoe Bay, and Hamilton are much busier on days when big ships are in port.
- Go to Horseshoe Bay before 10am or late in the afternoon, or walk along the south shore to quieter coves.
- Choose May or June over July and August for warm water with fewer crowds and slightly lower prices.
- Consider October for warm water and thin crowds if you can accept hurricane risk and book flexibly.
Know before you go
- From about November to March, some hotels close for refurbishment, many beach services shut, and some restaurants and ferries operate on reduced schedules.
- Visitors cannot rent regular cars in Bermuda. Use buses, ferries, taxis, or rent small electric vehicles or scooters.
- Public holidays, including Bermuda Day, National Heroes Day, and the two days of Cup Match, close many shops and offices.
- Hurricanes can close the airport and ferries for a day or two. Bermuda usually recovers quickly, but plan flexible dates from August to October.
