What March feels like
Panama City Beach spent decades as the loudest spring break town in the country and then legislated its way out of it; March is busy now but family-shaped. Most of the swimming happens in heated hotel pools, and rip currents are at their worst of the year.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 67° — brisk but swimmable.
