What March feels like
March is the busiest month on Siesta Key and the bridge traffic proves it, so go early or head north to Longboat. Spring training wraps up mid-month and the festival calendar picks up exactly where it leaves off.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 72° — comfortable for swimming.
