Our take on February
Still dry and still peak season. Presidents' Day weekend and the Boat Show make mid-February one of the priciest stretches of winter in Miami Beach.
Events in February
- Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show, Miami Beach Convention Center, marinas and Downtown Miami.
Next: February 10–14, 2027.
Five days over Presidents' Day weekend. Busy Miami Beach hotels near the Convention Center; marina and causeway traffic. Organiser - South Beach Wine & Food Festival, Tents on the sand in South Beach and venues across Miami-Dade.
Next: February 25–28, 2027.
Late-February food festival (benefits FIU's hospitality school). Busy high-season weekend in South Beach; part of the beach near 13th Street is taken up by tents. Organiser
For the beach in February
- The water is brisk: fine for a swim on a sunny afternoon, but bring a towel layer; the bay beaches run cooler than the ocean this time of year.
- Mostly dry; cold fronts can bring breezy days with rough surf and higher rip-current risk.
- Even in winter the midday UV Index in Miami is around 4, moderate (EPA): sunscreen still matters.
