PCCA 2023 Convention Brochure

Home to the 2023 PCCA Convention, Miami Beach is a world-renowned vacation destination. The sparkling seashore stretches across Miami Beach for miles, lined with beautiful art deco and mid-century modern hotels. Miami Beach has a rich history as a trend-setting cultural center, from the world-famous nightclubs of the 1950s to today’s modern South Beach. Visit the famed Art Deco Historic District, explore Miami Beach museums, visit cool shopping districts, enjoy family-friendly activities, and experience the extravagant nightlife that can only be found in Miami Beach. The PCCA headquarters hotels, Eden Roc & Nobu, are in Mid Beach, where South Beach cool meets North Beach calm in a central spot that offers the best of both its beachfront neighbors. The locals will tell you that Mid Beach is a captivating combination of everything there is to love about Greater Miami. This diverse neighborhood between 24th and 60th streets has swanky hotels, stylish restaurants and bars, its own arts district, and that famous swath of sand that beckons beach lovers worldwide. A highlight of Mid Beach is the Faena District, a corridor of arts and culture that stretches from 32nd to 36th streets and is anchored by the namesake Faena Hotel Miami Beach. Decorated in glamorous cinematic style, the resort boasts an over-the-top gilded skeleton of a wooly mammoth encased in a climate-controlled glass box that sits steps from the beach. The district features stunning residences and some of Miami’s premier dining, shopping, and entertainment. Miami’s year-round gorgeous weather means it’s always a good time to be outside, and Mid Beach offers plenty of options. Beyond the beach and its scenic Beach Walk, you can get in the swing of things at Miami Beach Golf Club, stroll along the Indian Creek boardwalk as you ogle multimillion-dollar yachts, or charter a boat to see the palatial homes that line North Bay Road, also known as Millionaire’s Row. A handcrafted cocktail at The Broken Shaker (consistently named one of the world’s best bars) concludes a classic Mid Beach day. Outdoor Adventure. Whether on land or in the water, you’ll find that nature surrounds you in Greater Miami. Go kayaking, canoeing, or stand-up paddle boarding at Oleta River State Park, Deering Estate, or Crandon Park. Visit the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center to see its dunes, mangroves, and seagrass beds— and have a chance to spot some of the 200 species of birds that live there or migrate through. Stroll past rare palms, tropical fruit, and flowering trees at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Hop on a boat and sail through one of Miami’s natural treasures—Biscayne National Park, which is 95% underwater and includes the Florida Reef, the only living coral barrier reef in the United States and one of the largest in the world. Experience true wilderness with a variety of hikes, scenic drives, and guided tours available in Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve. Miami Culture. To immerse yourself in the cultural side of Miami, explore its art galleries, wander past its mind-blowing street art, spend an afternoon at The Bass or the Pérez Art Museum Miami, or get a glimpse of local Art Deco architecture in South Beach’s Art Deco District. Check out attractions such as Zoo Miami, the Venetian Pool, Miami Seaquarium, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, and many more. Enjoy a taste of Greater Miami’s diverse culinary scene at tantalizing restaurants, or spend an afternoon sipping wine and beer made from local fruits at Schnebly Redland’s Winery & Brewery. Cultural Connections. Miami is also rich in Latin and Caribbean heritage. Visit Little Havana for a taste of Cuba, from the delicious fare at Versailles Restaurant to live music and salsa dancing at spots along Calle Ocho (Southwest 8th Street). In Little Haiti, you can learn about Haitian culture among a hip, artsy crowd at the Little Haiti Cultural Center and Caribbean Marketplace before heading out to a neighborhood gallery crawl.
