What to pack

What March feels like

March is the windiest month and the local kite and surf shops love it for exactly that reason. The Shamrock Marathon fills the oceanfront hotels for a weekend mid-month, which is the first real crowd since summer.

Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. about 6 nights dip below freezing.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 48° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
