• Saison

  Snowbird season

  5 janv. – 28 févr.Saison du soleil d’hiver

  Long-stay visitors from the Midwest and Canada take the condos by the month and the beaches are otherwise empty. Cool for swimming, cheap by Emerald Coast standards, and half the beach bars are shut.

Toujours en cours : Christmas and New Year (24 déc. – 1 janv.)

• Saison

  Spring break

  1 mars – 15 avr.Vacances scolairesBondéRéserver tôt

  March into early April brings staggered school and university breaks from across the South, and Highway 98 through town becomes a single slow lane. Rates jump and the family condos go months ahead.

• Risque

  Rip currents and beach flags

  1 mars – 31 oct.Courants d’arrachement et grosse houle

  Lifeguards and the coloured flag system run through the warm months, and double red means the water is legally closed. The Gulf here looks flat and still pulls people out; the flag, not the view, is the thing to read. Source ↗

Fréquenté — Memorial Day weekend

• Nature

  Sea turtle nesting

  1 mai – 31 oct.

  Loggerheads nest on the sugar-white sand from May, and hatchlings run for the water from midsummer into October. Beachfront lights go amber or off after dark and chairs have to be cleared from the sand each night.

• Saison

  Gulf warm enough to swim

  1 mai – 31 oct.Mer assez chaude

  The Gulf here is comfortable from May and genuinely warm from July to September. It cools quickly in November, and January and February are wetsuit water despite the sunshine.

• Risque

  Atlantic hurricane season

  1 juin – 30 nov.

  June to November, with the Gulf's dangerous weeks from mid-August to early October. Storms here intensify fast over hot shelf water, and the low barrier island means surge, not wind, is what closes the roads. Source ↗
