What to pack

What February feels like

The Polar Plunge at the oceanfront in early February is the one day the beach draws a crowd all winter, and it raises real money for Special Olympics Virginia. Otherwise it is a raw, quiet stretch, and the wind coming off the water is the part people underestimate.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 12 nights dip below freezing.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 44° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
