Pleasant for being outdoors, but pack for cool evenings

March is better suited to walking and spending time outside without strong heat than sitting still in swimwear. Average highs of 16.1°C are mild, while the warmest days reach 19.1°C or more. That gives you scope for lighter clothing when it feels warm, but not a reason to leave your jacket at home. Nights average 10.6°C, with the coldest dropping to 8°C or below, so bring a jumper and long trousers for evenings. Make the warmer part of the day your main window for outdoor plans. If your ideal holiday needs consistently hot afternoons, March is not a good match.

Allow for showers and keep swimming optional

There is enough sunshine to make outdoor plans worthwhile, but you should not expect clear skies throughout the day. March averages about 6.3 hours of sunshine within 11.7 hours of daylight, with about 6 rainy days. A waterproof layer and some flexibility are more useful than assuming every afternoon will be dry. Keep plans easy to rearrange rather than treating rain as a reason to rule the month out. The bigger limitation for a beach-focused trip is the sea: at 14.2°C, it is cold rather than comfortably swimmable. Time by the water can still fit the trip, but regular, leisurely sea swims should not be the main expectation.
