4. Make reservations at local hot spots if you're looking to party with the money crowd. Flyers are handed out all weekend to the hottest events, so grab a flyer and reserve a table at the club of choice.

5. Socialize and make some new friends. Everyone is in a party mood Memorial Day weekend in Miami. Take the time to meet people, and you're bound to be invited to plenty of parties so you can hang out and have a really good time.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have to drive, get to the beach early. Parking fills up fast, and in past years after a certain point they stop letting folks onto the beach.

• Don't do anything too wild and crazy while you're down there. The cops are out in full force, and they set up temporary holding stations around the beach. If you get out of line, you will be detained quickly.
