In South Beach, check out:
- Ocean Drive is party central on a regular day, during Spring Break it's mega party on steroids and it gets very lively around the mid-point between 5th and 12th streets, The Clevelander is where a lot of Spring Breakers congregate
- The Delano Hotel used to be the "Miami Music Week Hotel" until it closed in 2020 and is now undergoing some major refurbishment; however, the epic pool parties which typically spread to the surrounding hotels live on, including The National, the Kimpton Surfcomber the Nautilus and the Sagamore.
In Mid-Beach, the vibe is slightly more subdued, traditionally the action is around the Faena District and the Eden Roc which is home of the Winter Music Conference where many of the "industry" events take place.
Back in the "mainland" and in the Downtown/Brickell area check out the rooftop pools, such as at the Novotel Brickell, the Kimpton Epic Hotelor at E11EVEN, Miami's mega ULTRACLUB.
The Wynwood District will also be having its share of events and note that most of the events here are 18+ as opposed to 21+
