All Months
Winter is peak season for good reason. December through April means 75-80°F days, minimal rain, and ocean temperatures that don't require a wetsuit. But you'll pay for it — hotel rates double, and good luck getting dinner reservations anywhere decent.
May and November are the sweet spots. Weather's still gorgeous, crowds thin out, and prices drop 30-40%. The ocean stays warm through November, and May mornings are perfect for beach walks before the heat kicks in.
Summer is brutal but cheap. We're talking 90°F with 80% humidity, daily thunderstorms at 3 PM, and hurricane season anxiety. But hotel rates plummet, restaurants offer deals, and locals reclaim their city. If you can handle the heat, you'll see a different side of Miami.
Avoid Art Basel week in early December unless that's specifically why you're coming. Hotel rates hit $800+ per night, and the city becomes one giant party that's either amazing or insufferable, depending on your tolerance for crowds and $20 cocktails.
