What to pack

What January feels like

January is the deep off-season and a good share of Pier Park runs on winter hours. Snowbirds from the upper Midwest fill the condos for the month and hold potlucks and dances that are their own institution, while the Gulf sits well out of the question.

Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 8 nights dip below freezing.

Can you swim?

The Gulf runs about 60° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
