Miami might not be the greatest. The keys i know are in danger and the atlantic coast of florida might get some sludge due to the way the water streams are. The Gulf coast of florida surprisingly normal. found this map but i'd just check some florida news and beach reports http://www.thegovmonitor.com/images/...2_2010_big.jpg

Just came back Friday, water was crystal clear, no buzz in town at all about any of this hoopla.

Of course then there's the question of visiting Miami in August, oil or no. Think carefully on that. Lived there for a few years. Don't come here in February either. Here is northern New England.

yeah, August in Miami is brutal. 95 F with 100% humidity. the beaches are perfect at this time though. there's not a huge concern that i've been hearing from the weather guys, although everyone's worried about the Florida Keys and damage to the coral reefs

I don't think Miami's beaches themselves are all that great (the women on them though..... ), but they should be fine. GREAT city though.

It's extremely doubtful the oil will reach there, especially by August. If it even got down to Southern Florida, the Keys will likely absorb what's left of it before it even gets to Miami.

i just heard a story on CNN yesterday that pretty much every city on the gulf from Houston to Miami has been hurt because everyone thinks the oil is everywhere.

Basically the guy said all the beaches are picture perfect - for now - and that it shouldnt stop people from visiting... but the fact is tourism (or at least his particular call volume) is down 25%
