What to pack

What February feels like

February is when the winter residents outnumber the vacationers and tee times cost the least they will all year. The dolphins in Calibogue Sound don't take the season off, so the boat tours run whenever the water lies flat.

Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 55° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
