Winter in Miami Beach

While many of us dream of a white Christmas, once the festive season is over, the snow and sleet remain with nothing to power us through the dark days of winter. Thoughts turn to warm beaches and the exquisite feeling of sand between our toes. If these feelings return season after season, it may be time to consider a winter property in stunning North Beach, Miami Beach, where the average winter temperature is in the 70s. Many South Florida natives only have a winter sweatshirt to brave any cold temperatures that typically clear up within a few hours or days. Besides dreamy winter temperatures, North Beach has so much more to offer, including a vibrant culinary scene that has ranked Miami number three in the best cities for foodies. Sit down or grab food to go and explore North Beach’s outdoor malls, outdoor food halls and outdoor music events like the North Beach Bandshell.

Frigid states like New York, Illinois and Minnesota range from 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit in colder months. It is no wonder Miami Beach is the top destination for migrating New Yorkers. More than 30,000 Big Apple residents migrated to Miami between 2011 and 2015, according to the US Census Bureau. Winter activities in New York can include shoveling the driveway and putting chains on automobile tires. While some brave the frigid temperatures to go snowboarding, the fun can only last a short time to prevent injury or sickness. In North Beach, the only limit to winter activities is choosing the ones you want to discover/explore first. Instead of searching for something to binge watch, go diving or snorkeling. Take a kayak out to one of the many dog-friendly beaches for Fido to have the adventure of a lifetime, or lounge in the sun as a tropical breeze invites you to leave thoughts of winter far behind/on the shoreline. Leave the snow shoveling to those back home. 

Fashion

No matter how well you have been able to stick to your diet over the holidays, abstaining from second helpings and limiting carbs, no one is able to tell under a thick winter coat and all the layering that comes with trying not to freeze to death. In North Beach, the only layers required to step outside are stylish sunglasses and a hat. No one is wearing thermal underclothing, and many have to pause to remember what it feels like to put on more clothes to go outside. This lack of heavy clothing is part of why South Beach, Miami Beach was named the sexiest neighborhood by Thrillist.

Socialmedia

Nothingwill induce envy more than a great beach selfie during the winter. While youmay have to guess which of your friends is buried under winter layers, you willbe instantly recognizable. When they show off their matching Uggs and hat, youcan post a photo on every platform of your freshly pedicured toes in Havianas.Share a photo of an ice-cold beverage instead of icy roads, a sandcastle ratherthan a snowman, and a gorgeous sunset instead of a gray sky.
