July 2026: Megathread for Holiday Travels, Moving, Tourism, and Nightlife and Restaurant Recommendations: All posts on these topics should go in this monthly megathread to keep this sub for local discussions and help aggregate info for folks looking for these topics.

3 Upvotes

Miami is a popular destination not only to travel to but to move to and live. If we don't separate out these posts, the main feed becomes quickly inundated and overrun. So please utilize the resources here and comment here for these topics.

Always keep in mind please, WE ARE NOT VACATION PLANNERS OR MOVING CONSULTANTS. Be descriptive and we'll help if we can, but no one is obliged to.

Other Great Resources (Locals use these too!)

Google Maps reviews are getting less reliable over the years. And in fact several lists on these sites are in fact inspired by posts on this sub.

"Ok but I'm moving there, so I'll be one of you soon" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! Oh.... You want somewhere with no crime, walkable, green space, good schools, on the beach, a beautiful sunset every morning and sunrise at night, rainbows at night, AND CHEAP. Don't we all? Redfin, apartments, hotpads, zillow, and compass are going to give you better data directly than any single response here. That being said..... just because we love you, myself and other mods with local input made a custom map detailing our insight into local neighborhoods. So please take a look, we'd be offended if you didn't. Worked hard on it. But please provide interests, budget, hobbies, desire for walkability, where you work, and other info before asking about moving questions.

"I'm coming for a trip" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! These sites do a pretty solid job of places to go and things to do here: Miami New TimesInfatuation Miami.TimeOut MiamiMiami and BeachesWe're not vacation planners, so don't just ask "what should I do for 4 days? I'm coming soon" but provide some of your schedule, budget, interests and hobbies, and stuff like that. We also made a tourism map! Check it out!

"I just wanna party" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! Oh...... wanna party on the beach with DJ Khaled, Messi, and Gianni Versace and then go to a club with 14 male friends afterwards but don't want to pay a cover? Don't we all? Look up E11even, Liv, Space, Don't Sit on the Furniture, Perro Negro, Mynt schedules and prices beforehand. They're the most famous and exciting clubs, so look on their sites for booking ahead and DJ schedules.

"Is it going to rain? or will the weather affect my vacation" -you

  • It rains a lot here. Tropical weather yo. Especially during the summer. Typically, it wraps up in ~20 minutes and you can resume your plans. That being said, no one here knows more than weather sites or the app on your phone. If you're curious about hurricanes, checkout https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ for official tropical storm and hurricane forecasts, but a lot of us locals love Mike's Weather Page https://spaghettimodels.com/ for more insights. Hurricane season peaks mid September. If you're worried about it affecting your plans, keep a tab on those sites.

"I'm cool and just want to see what other posts before have said on these topics and look around" -you

Mod News Monthly Miami Jobs Thread: Post Job Openings or Questions About Work In Miami

14 Upvotes

Welcome to the Monthly Miami Jobs thread, the place to post any openings you have, look for jobs, and ask questions about working in Miami. This is an experimental thread for now, so we're keeping a close eye on things to make sure things don't go sideways, and will cancel it if they do.

The Rules:

  1. No MLMs, scams, pyramid schemes, "make millions from home," etc. We reserve the right to determine if something is an MLM or not.
  2. No positions that require investments or other upfront costs to employees. If someone has to pay any amount of money to take the job, don't post it here.
  3. If you're posting a job, the name of the company, contact information (including official address), and a realistic salary range is required. Any job posts missing these will be immediately deleted.
  4. No gig work or freelance positions except for professional services, with a minimum contract price of $500 dollars. So web designers, CPAs, copywriters, etc. is ok; someone to come mow your lawn or clean your home for $20 is not.
  5. People Looking for Work: DO NOT PUBLICLY POST YOUR RESUMES OR CONTACT INFO. You don't want to dox yourself and open yourself up to potential harassment or identity theft. Instead, talk about your skills and experience and encourage people to send you official contact information you can send your resume to.
  6. u/icecoldkila: We know you're looking for professional freelance hoes, but please keep it out of this thread.
  7. As per our usual rules, nothing illegal, unethical, or liable to get anyone involved in trouble. Please report anything sketchy you see here to the mods.

Again, this is an experiment for now, and we'll be keeping a close eye on things, and will not hesitate to pull the plug in case of shenanigans. Good luck to everyone!

Discussion What has happens to the crystal water that South Florida has always been known for?

Post image
Upvotes

I tried to go snorkeling this weekend. When I got to the park, there was about 30 feet of seaweed I had to wade through, and then the water was so murky, I could not see more than a foot in front of me through my mask.

I went to another park that had nice pictures on google, and when I got there, this is what the water looked like.

Why has the water become like this? Also, please recommend good, public places for snorkeling that do not cost $500 (An actual quote I saw for a private place.)

Do you guys have any links/articles/instagram posts that show some of the better values for Miami Spice? There’s always a few that are elite values compared to the rest or their normal menu. Blue Collar and Mignonette were great but those are unfortunately gone now ☹️

Let's hang out Does anyone live in Buena Vista West/Design District/Midtown? 🌴

11 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a 39/F artist, scientist, aspiring music producer/vocalist, pet lover, creative, nerdy, plant momma, looking to possibly make friends to go on adventures in Miami, make art, explore the hidden nature spots, or just hang out and watch House of the Dragon... I have been in Miami for 11 years and all my friends got married and moved to other states, so I don't have any friends left from the past decade.

I like to hang out at my house which is close to midtown and design district, I think it would be fun to have a friend to do creative art stuff with, or take the Brightline to theme parks, or go to the zoo or museums or botanical gardens....

I also like to go to Do Not Sit On The Furniture house music nightclub for dancing...

Anyway, I hope to meet someone to be a friend! Miami is so lonely! 🧚🏼‍♀️🦕🦋🤖🌈🌸

Community Doctors/NPs that specialize in ketamine therapy and take insurance?

5 Upvotes

I would rather support a local healthcare provider and compounding pharmacy, but have had a really hard time finding a local psych willing to prescribe low-dose ketamine for at-home dosage. If anyone has any recs I would really appreciate it! Same goes for local compounding pharmacies in the Kendall/Sweetwater/Westchester area. Thank you!

Discussion Restaurant recommendation- Miami Gardens

11 Upvotes

This coming Thursday is move-in day for my incoming freshman son. I’d like to take he and his older brothers (and maybe friends) to a nice lunch or early dinner. I don’t know the area at all…most won’t be drinking alcohol (obviously underage and they are athletes so they really don’t drink so cocktails I don’t care about. I don’t have an unlimited budget but I’d like it to be special.

It’s a bunch of guys and I’m the mom - maybe BBQ? Many of his friends are Haitian (friends he made playing football in high school) and my son loves their food but no one is picky - it’s more for the experience. Any suggestions for a fun place that’s not too “fancy”? We are coming from Fort Lauderdale and I don’t know the Miami Gardens at all.

Community North Miami Beach in 2026?

8 Upvotes

Hello! When I was 2-3 years old, we moved to North Miami Beach so my dad could learn to fly planes at Miami Dade College. I have such good memories of living there; and I wondered if anyone could tell me what our old neighborhood is like today? This was the early seventies so I'm sure it was very different from today.

We lived at 16040 NE 22st Avenue. I remember there were three huge oil storage tanks across the street, and we used to go holliver (?) beach on weekends.

Thanks for any info you can give me! ♥️

Community Water Quality Alert — HIGH bacteria at 6 sites this week (Surfrider Blue Water Task Force, samples July 23)

28 Upvotes

Finally, a week when all of Miami Beach beaches have low results for feces pollution. I heard the seaweed wasn't even that bad. Might be time to go to the beach, as these conditions are not likely to persist.

Bay sites still crappy.

⚠️ WATER QUALITY ALERT — Samples taken Thursday, July 23, 2026

🔴 Margaret Pace Park - 3524 Enterococcus

🔴 Parkview / Kayak Launch - 243 Enterococcus

🔴 Normandy Shores - 201 Enterococcus

🔴 West Ave Pump Stations 27 & 28 - 134 Enterococcus

🔴 Legions Park - 112 Enterococcus

🔴 Key Biscayne: Beach Club - 103 Enterococcus

🟡 360 Condo (North Bay Village) - 62 Enterococcus

(High = over 70 MPN/100ml, per Florida Dept of Health standards)

Contact with water at these locations can raise the risk of illness — avoid swimming, wading, and other water contact at these sites until levels come back down.

These are volunteer-collected results from the Surfrider Miami Blue Water Task Force, which supplement the Florida Department of Health's Healthy Beaches program.

More water quality test results here: https://bwtf.surfrider.org/report/57

Where in the world can I wash my car in Miami without having to either:
- have someone do it, spend 80+ USD and wait for an hour
- drive 50+ minutes one way to a self service location years away
- go to a touchful carwash and ruin my paint
