Miami
Miami Guide is reserved for a later seasonal and base-selection wedge: beach-area choices, pre-cruise stays, rain and heat backups, event-season pressure, and first-night dining decisions.
14 source-checked places
The first wave is intentionally narrow: stays, dining, logistics, and indoor backup anchors that help explain the base decision.
Use the category only after the base is clear
Miami Guide does not turn this into a broad directory. Each category supports a specific planning constraint in the first-wave guides.
