When the sun rises on February 2, 2020, what better place is there to be than lounging on the white sands of South Beach, Florida, watching palm trees sway and clouds roll by? After all, they don’t call Miami “The Magic City” without reason. Every year, millions flock to Miami to get their toes in the sand and to take in the adventure that’s sure to come in one of America’s top tourist destinations. This will be especially true when the city hosts Super Bowl LIV in Miami Gardens. Whether you’re heading to Miami to cheer for the odds-on favorite New England Patriots or to catch some rays, Super Bowl weekend is as vibrant and lively a time as it gets in South Beach.
When the NFL brings its two best teams to Hard Rock Stadium, players won’t have to worry about frostbite or wind chill factor. This is especially good news for teams from colder climates, such as the Patriots, whose February weather is frequently quite chilly. It’s also great news for fans, who’ll have the chance to catch tons of action on and off the field in what’s sure to be an entertainment-filled weekend.
What’s Happening Off the Field
Of course, when most imagine a trip to Miami the night life and beaches immediately come to mind. But if you’re in town for Super Bowl LIV, you might want to taste the authentic Miami, away from Miami Gardens—and there’s plenty of opportunity. Aside from clubs and beaches, Miami is a hub of diversity, a unique cultural mix that few cities in the U.S. can offer, so be sure to take advantage.
Sure, with Miami’s often-perfect weather and pristine beaches, you’ll certainly find yourself (at some point) sea-side, listening to the waves crashing ashore and the sunbeams warming your skin. But offshore, when you’ve had your share of sunbeams and rising tides, you’ll want to check out the other side of Miami. While you can certainly drop into the beachside cafes and boutiques, I suggest spending more time seeing the authentic Miami: the shops, restaurants, and locales that represent the heart of Miami culture. Among these—to name a few—are Little Havana, the Everglades National Forest, and the numerous museums scattered across the city. In Little Havana, for example, you’ll find everything from jewelry makers to food vendors, reflecting the Cuban influence that helps define Miami culture. Also be sure to visit one of Miami’s authentic Cuban restaurants, showcasing the best and most authentic Cuban food you’ll find in the U.S. including croquetas, chicken, and barbecue.
While the action in Hard Rock Stadium is sure to please, don’t miss out on the rest of the beauty and grandeur that is Miami.
