Miami is hot in more ways than one. Most people want to head out to the beaches, which are great for tanning and people-watching. It does get scorching hot in Miami and the humidity is out of this world. So, it’s best to visit the beaches early in the morning or in the evening.

Good information. I like beaches in Miami, like the way people dress and like Miami Vice. Good movie
Miami is actually my hometown! I’m glad that you like it.
I was in Miami about a year ago for a business trip. It was nice, but really REALLY too hot/humid for me (I’m a Cali girl through and through!). But a good thing to note would be that taxis from downtown to South Beach average about $25 and is a good, relatively direct and fast way to travel around.
I recommend the Mariott downtown connected to the Miami Convention Center as a good hotel.
