April is a capricious month. It can both please you with warm days and bright sunshine that is no longer like spring, but it can also bring you cold, slush and even frost. But this is April only in Russia; in other countries, this month is already the beginning of the “beach season”. And if you want to take a break from the changeable weather at home, then it’s time to go... to the sea! Where can you go to the sea at the end of April inexpensively? We have collected the best options and will share them with you.

The surest and cheapest direction is Egypt.

In April, the “golden mean” just begins: when, after the winter period, the country heads towards the “hot summer”, but the sweltering heat is still far away and you can enjoy moderate warmth. The sandstorms that accompany the beginning of April in Egypt are already fading away at the end of the month, and you can safely go on all kinds of excursions.

The air temperature ranges from +25 to +30 degrees, which is relatively not hot, unlike the hotter May. But such high temperatures are found only in the southern desert zones. Along the Mediterranean coast, the air temperature is much more comfortable, +22…+25 degrees.

The water temperature in the seas also ranges from +15...+17 in the Mediterranean, to +20...+23 in the Red Sea. Therefore, if you want to swim in the sea at the end of April, it is better to choose Red. In addition to a beach holiday, which includes not only swimming, but also banana boat rides, all kinds of water attractions and even diving, in Egypt at the end of April you can go to the real camel races or plunge into the atmosphere of the holiday of spring and changes for the better - Shamm en- Nasim.

Naturally, if you decide to visit Egypt, then how can you pass by its main attraction - the great pyramids? But when visiting them, remember that they are in hotter climates, where you can easily get sunburned or get sunstroke. Therefore, guides advise you to dress in light, light-colored clothing, if possible, covering most of the body, be sure to wear a light-colored headdress, preferably white, and take a bottle of water with you. But these small inconveniences are nothing compared to the impressions you can get in this hospitable country!

The second popular destination among Russian tourists is the UAE.
Yes, they are more expensive than Egypt, but they are still worth spending money on for a good vacation. Moreover, April in this country is the “velvet season”, so it will be comfortable here for both adults and children. And all kinds of water parks, attractions, trade festivals with exciting shopping and other entertainment will certainly not leave anyone indifferent!

In April, the weather in the UAE is much higher than in Egypt. The temperature here stays around +30...+33 degrees Celsius, but due to the increased air humidity, the suffocating stuffiness, as would be the case with such indicators in our country, is not felt. Therefore, you can safely enjoy the sandy beaches and clear waters of the seas, the temperature of which reaches +21 degrees - off the coast of the Gulf of Oman, and +27 - in the Persian Gulf.

But if you want, in addition to relaxing at sea, to visit the sights of the emirates, then you should do this in April, since this is the last month before the temperature rises to the “unbearable heat” mark.

Thailand.
The velvet season at the end of April is also characteristic of Thailand. But this month is also the beginning of a full summer in this country. Therefore, the thermometers here reach +34 degrees during the day and +28 at night. The water in the sea warms up to +30 degrees!

Thailand combines ancient traditions, meditative relaxation, exotic nature, and vibrant and active leisure. Here you can plunge into the world of Buddhist culture, ancient philosophies and traditions of the Asian country. You can also devote your vacation to water attractions, water skiing, surfing, diving and other active entertainment!

The only thing that still disrupts the vivid emotions from Thailand is the high cost of tourist destinations in this country. In Thailand itself, you can also stay in the most luxurious hotel or in a fairly inexpensive bungalow.
So, if you have the opportunity, don’t hesitate to go to this Asian country for new, vibrant experiences!

The Chinese island of Hainan and the Vietnamese Nha Trang may well compete with Thailand.
These destinations are gaining popularity among Russian tourists, as they can offer everything that other destinations offer, but still with their own unique personality.

Nha Trang will amaze you with a variety of opportunities: both for active recreation and lazy beach relaxation. It will reveal the beauty of its pristine nature and plunge you into the whirlpool of various festivals and holidays inherent in a given month.
The temperature will also please you with its moderation: +28 for air and +21 for water.
Hainan is a true tropical paradise for those who love to lie on the amazing snow-white sand and plunge into the emerald waters, heated to the state of “fresh milk”.

The temperature here is kept at +25... +28 degrees, which contributes to a pleasant pastime not only by the sea, but also for visiting excursions and exploring local attractions.
Prices for these destinations are quite reasonable, especially at the end of April, but trips there can still be quite expensive.
But it’s up to you to decide where to go to sea at the end of April. We wish you bright and memorable emotions from your holiday!
