Frequently asked questions

Is hurricane season really risky?

It runs June to November with a peak in August-September. Most trips are unaffected, but a direct hit or a nearby storm can disrupt flights for a few days. Keep an eye on the forecast in the two weeks before departure and take out travel insurance for trips in that window.

Is spring break a big deal in Miami?

Yes, especially mid-February to April, when South Beach gets loud and crowded with college crowds and prices spike. If you want a quieter trip, avoid this window or stay outside the beach hotel zone.

Can you swim year-round?

Yes, the sea stays between 24° and 30° all year, so even winter swims are pleasant. The main variable is rain and humidity, not water temperature.
