Ok,change in direction! Atlantic ocean in February(ish)!

If you want warm water, you will have to head to south Florida, down around Miami or Key West. That's about the only place you have a good chance of warm water in February.

We are heading to Belize, so we are pretty much guaranteed to have some warm water!!!

In February you probably need to head down to south Florida or the Keys. Even north Florida is too cold for swimming tho I have seen snowbirds try it. Probably the same people I saw swimming in Lake Superior.

Going by the averages listed on this site, The beaches from about Miami south are likely to be the most suited to comfortable swimming in February.

That's what I was thinking myself but thought I should ask anyway! I would be just as happy just sitting by the ocean and hearing the waves crash to shore! I think for my husbands warm water request we're just going to have to wait for warmer weather! :)

All the campgrounds at Myrtle Beach have heated indoor pools

We were in the Ft Pierce/Vero Beach area in Jan-Feb and although we did not swim, found the water warm enough if you wanted to swim. Also consider that we were from Maine where the ocean water at its highest usually only gets around 68 degrees.

Miami and south is a long way to just go swimming with the sharks...lol

As Terryallen mentioned, the oceanfront parks in MB have heated pool. We were at Ocean Lakes at the end of January and was able to score a sit that was ocean front. There were actually plenty of sites ocean front available.

I hope you are right. GF and I went 3 years ago in Jan / Feb and a cool front came through. Was rainy, cloudy, and cool the whole week. Mind you the water was warm but it was not pleasant getting in /out. Once we got a little north in Mexico ( Tulum )and away from the front it was perfect. Other years I have been to Belize in Jan / Feb have been great. Same can happen in Florida keys.

Good luck I hope you hit it right!!

Yeah they actually had a freeze in the Keys 3 or 4 years ago.

We had a really pleasant week in the Keys December last year. I don't know how that translates to February, but we were able to swim each day.
