What March feels like
The old spring break reputation is long gone, bought out by the city decades ago, but March still fills the beach with families plus everyone who has been here since January. This is when the Atlantic finally hits the temperature people imagined when they booked.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 77° — comfortable for swimming.
