I posted a few weeks ago that we are going to central Florida in the middle of March. I have looked up average temps and it looks like about 75-80 is average for that time of year. But I am curious what people typically wear there during that time of year? If you live there or somewhere else warm year round, please help this Minnesota girl out!

Shorts and t-shirts, most likely. Sandals.
Don't forget, Florida is humid, so the heat hits differently.
Be sure to pack an umbrella or poncho for when/if it rains.

I'm a bit further north in Florida - abt 3hrs north of Orlando - jeans and tees are pretty standard in the winter here with the option to add a cardie or light jacket/hoodie when the sun goes down or the a/c is too cool or the weather turns - as it is still wont to in March.
For example - today I have jeans and light sweater on (and for most of the day - the sweater has been on the edge of too warm) - the high was 63 today and the low around freezing...at 10pm it's 46. By the weekend we'll have highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 40s/low 50s - and I wear jeans and a tee shirt - adding a light cardie early in the morning and later in the evening as it cools down.
Summer is the rainy season in Florida but it's always wise to plan for a bit of rain.

What is good to wear to the beach if I don't want to wear a swimsuit?

Shorts and top, have a jacket... Check the daily forecast as a backup.

What is good to wear to the beach if I don't want to wear a swimsuit? what are you planning to do at the beach? Sit and read? wade? collect shells? walk along the shore? chase kids? I would dress for the activity - and be sure to wear sunscreen. Do be aware of riptides if you (or companions) are going in the water. |

I would keep an eye on the weather as you get closer to the trip. We can have hot, humid, mid-80s, or we can have a cold front that drops temps into the 50s. My husband and I took a trip to Dayton the weekend of March 20th in 2021 and we FROZE! It was in the low 50s and raining the entire time. Most of the time it's between 70-80 and starting to get humid.

I would wear shorts + t-shirt (and have a light jacket or jeans handy). And I almost always wear Birkenstocks year round, so I would wear those. |

We've been to Daytona Beach in March and it was cold and the water was absolutely frigid. Surprised me, for sure. |

All of my warm weather clothes are packed up and I don’t want to haul everything out yet so will kind of pick and choose based on the weather. But I need to get some things out ahead of time as well so I’m not scrambling. |
