Local Seasons:
Due to its year round moderate climate, great golf, shopping and dining, any time of year is great for a visit. Winter daytime temperatures can get into the 70s F but usually average in the mid 60s F, allowing visitors to enjoy many of the cities sites and attractions. While a dusting of snow is possible, it rarely sticks. Spring and fall are slightly warmer but offer the same opportunities to travelers. Summers are busy and the weather can be very warm and humid. With the nearby beaches, it’s a great time to work on that perfect tan. Naturally, golf is always close at hand and available year round.
