I agree with avoiding the traffic, But the two things that set MIA apart from every other place in Florida is SOBE and Key Biscayne.

And I've actually been to both - we took a food walking tour of SOBE a couple of years ago, and ages and ages ago I spent a couple of days on KB, back when there was a Sheraton there.

Miami without a car
You can leave your luggage at the left-luggage place landside in the terminal.
It's easy to get downtown via Metro (Orange Line, iirc), with restaurants and museums to entertain you for a significant part of the day, aided by the aforementioned free train loop.
I also recommend Vizcaya, accessible by Metro plus a <1 mile walk that also shows you the south end of I-95 from above.
Yes, dress for hot, humid weather and drink plenty of water.
Enjoy!
