What to pack

What March feels like

March is the wettest month of the year out here and the wind is relentless, but rates are still offseason and the show calendar starts filling. Lucy the Elephant down in Margate reopens for the season around the end of the month, which is the local signal that things are moving.

Winter is doing its thing: 2.2 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on maybe one day. about 17 nights dip below freezing.

Can you swim?

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