Miami in December (2026)

South Beach

Miami's iconic stretch of sand along Ocean Drive, backed by pastel Art Deco hotels — busiest and liveliest from late morning, quieter and more photogenic at sunrise.

Art Deco Historic District

The largest concentration of Art Deco architecture in the world, roughly 800 buildings from the 1920s-40s — a self-guided walk down Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue at golden hour is the classic way to see it lit up.

Wynwood Walls

An outdoor street-art museum in a former warehouse district, now covering entire building facades with murals from artists worldwide — surrounded by galleries, breweries, and food halls.

Little Havana

The heart of Miami's Cuban community along Calle Ocho, with cigar shops, domino games at Máximo Gómez Park, and cafecito windows serving Cuban coffee to the street.

Biscayne Bay Cruise

A boat tour past the waterfront mansions of Star Island and Millionaire's Row, with the Miami skyline as backdrop — most operators depart from Bayside Marketplace.

Everglades Day Trip

The vast subtropical wetland an hour from the city — airboat tours through sawgrass marsh for a real chance of spotting wild alligators, best done in the cooler morning hours.
