Weather in Panama City Beach in April
Springtime in Panama City Beach is in the mid-70s in the daytime and high 50s to low 60s at night, making it easier to schedule events. You can attend indoor activities, go shopping, or hit the theme parks in the mornings, and go to the beaches in the afternoons when it’s warmer.
April is also a perfect time for deals on activities and travel, and you will probably avoid spring breakers. It means there will likely be more room for tours and other guided events.

Get in the Water!
Swimming and sitting on the beach are not all there is to do in the water. Watersports are huge in Panama City Beach. At Florida Watersports, you can rent and buy fishing gear, kayaks, life vests, and safety equipment for your adventures. Easy E Watersports, Emerald Surf Watersports, and Panhandle Watersports are local go-to companies for jet ski rentals (they require some experience with jet skis).
If you want a real adrenaline pump this Easter Panama City Beach, Panama City Parasailing will take you out on the ocean so you can take off and land on a boat. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you can get your thrills right over the water.
Panama City Parasailing also has boat rides, bikes, comfortable beach chairs, and stand-up paddleboards for rent. If you want to see dolphins, they offer 2-hour adventures where you can view them and swim with them.
Another favorite for dolphin and jet ski tours is Sunshine Water Sports. They can take you to Shell Island, where you can collect shells and sand dollars, rent you a pontoon boat, and show you how to parasail off their banana boat.
