Rumor has it that P.J. McGuire, VP of the American Federation of Labor, thought September 2nd was the ideal date for its near-perfect weather and because it sits midway between Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. Whatever the reason, most of us get one day off to do whatever we want (besides work). With dreamy beaches caressed by surreal turquoise waters, incredible cuisine, and vibrant club culture, Miami may just be one of the best places to forget about your job for a while. Below are our top picks for what to do in Miami for Labor Day.

Listen to the siren song of big blue and get out on the water.
