What to pack

What January feels like

January nights drop below freezing a couple of times most winters, and the old city's coquina walls hold the chill in a way visitors never expect. It is also the quietest month downtown, which makes it the best possible time to walk St. George Street.

Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 59° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
