Fun Things to Do This Weekend in Miami (Hint: It Starts With Driving a Convertible)

Every weekend in Miami comes with options. Too many, honestly.

Beach? Party? Art? Food? Nature? Nightlife? Yes. All of it.


But if you’re trying to actually experience Miami instead of bouncing between Ubers, here’s the move locals and repeat visitors already know:

👉 Start by driving a convertible. Everything else falls into place after that.

Whether you’re here as a couple, a family, or a group of friends, this is your go-to list of fun things to do this weekend in Miami, led by the one thing that unlocks them all.


1. Drive a Convertible Through Miami (The Weekend Cheat Code)

Let’s be honest — this is the best thing to do in Miami, any weekend, hands down.

Drop the top on a:

  • Mustang convertible for classic Miami cruising

  • Corvette convertible for luxury, speed, and “wow” moments

  • Jeep Wrangler for families, beach days, and adventure vibes

Now suddenly:

  • Beach-hopping is easy

  • Sunset drives are part of the plan

  • Spontaneous stops feel natural

  • Miami feels like it’s yours

Ocean Drive, Collins Ave, Brickell, Biscayne Blvd, MacArthur Causeway — these roads were made for convertibles.

This isn’t transportation. It’s the experience.


2. Hit the Beach (But Make It a Beach-Hopping Day)

One beach is never enough in Miami.

With a convertible, you can do:

  • South Beach – iconic, energetic, people-watching central

  • Surfside – quieter, more relaxed, great for families

  • Bal Harbour – clean, upscale, postcard-level pretty

Pack towels, throw the music on, and turn the drive between beaches into part of the fun.


3. Explore Wynwood Walls & Arts District

Wynwood is always buzzing on weekends.

Things to do:

  • Walk the famous murals

  • Pop into galleries and street markets

  • Grab coffee, tacos, or craft cocktails

  • Take photos everywhere (seriously, everywhere)

Drive in, park, wander, then hop back into your convertible and cruise the neighborhood streets. Wynwood + open-top driving is peak Miami energy.


4. Weekend Markets & Outdoor Events

Miami weekends are packed with pop-ups and outdoor fun.

Depending on the weekend, you’ll usually find:

  • Farmers markets in Coconut Grove or Coral Gables

  • Artisan markets with local art and food

  • Open-air yoga sessions

  • Live DJs and music pop-ups

These are perfect quick stops when you’ve got your own car — pull up, hang out, move on when you’re ready.


5. Brunch Like a Local (Arrive in Style)

Brunch is a full-on event in Miami.

Top weekend brunch areas:

  • Brickell – rooftop vibes and city energy

  • South Beach – loud, fun, unapologetically Miami

  • Coconut Grove – laid-back, tropical, charming

Pulling up in a convertible just hits different. Valet, step out, sunglasses on — brunch starts before you sit down.


6. Drive to Key Biscayne for a Change of Pace

If you want something calmer but still beautiful, Key Biscayne is a weekend favorite.

Why it’s perfect:

  • Scenic coastal drive

  • Ocean views on both sides

  • Quiet beaches

  • Great for couples and families

It’s close enough to be easy, but far enough to feel like an escape — especially with the top down.


7. Little Havana for Culture, Music & Cafecito

For a dose of real Miami culture, cruise over to Little Havana.

Things to do:

  • Walk Calle Ocho

  • Grab Cuban coffee

  • Watch domino games

  • Catch live Latin music

This is one of those stops that feels spontaneous — and those are always the best ones.


8. Sunset Drive + Waterfront Walk

As the day cools down, plan a sunset moment.

Great spots:

  • Biscayne Bay

  • South Pointe Park

  • Brickell waterfront

  • Miami Beach boardwalk

Park the car, walk for a bit, then hop back in for a night drive. Miami sunsets + convertibles are undefeated.


9. Miami Nightlife (The Ride Is Half the Fun)

Whether you’re heading to a bar, lounge, or just cruising for the vibes, nighttime driving in Miami is an experience.

Downtown lights, reflections on the water, music floating through the air — this is where the weekend really comes alive.

Even if you don’t have a destination, the drive itself becomes the memory.


Why a Convertible Makes Every Weekend Better

You can technically do all of this without a car…But it won’t feel the same.

Driving a convertible in Miami means:

  • No waiting

  • No rigid plans

  • No missed spots

  • Maximum freedom

Whether it’s a Mustang, Corvette, or Jeep, the car turns a list of activities into a real experience.
