What to pack

What February feels like

February is the busiest stretch on the beach and along Las Olas, with the yacht crowd thick in every marina. Rates hold at their peak all month, which is why people who live here book their own dinners for a Tuesday.

Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 75° — comfortable for swimming.
