What October feels like
October is when the mansions look their best: fewer people on the tours and the Bellevue Avenue trees turning. Rain picks back up from the summer lull, so check the sky before committing to the whole Ocean Drive loop on foot.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 63° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
