What February feels like
February brings spring training — the Orioles at Ed Smith Stadium, the Braves down in North Port — and the ballparks become the social event of the month. Siesta Key's sand is pure quartz and stays cool even in full sun, which is why it fills before ten.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 66° — brisk but swimmable.
