Coast Guard Closes Part of Miami Beach Waters for Air and Sea Show

Table of Contents
The Coast Guard is enforcing a temporary water closure east of Miami Beach from May 22 through May 24, 2026. The restriction applies daily between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to support the Miami Beach Air and Sea Show.
Why it matters: This is a routine safety measure for a specific event rather than a new policy. The closure keeps spectator boats, commercial traffic, and emergency responders out of the performance zone to prevent collisions and clear the water for the show. It is a temporary administrative action that ends once the event concludes.
Who it affects
- Recreational and commercial boaters planning to transit the Atlantic waters east of Miami Beach during the specified dates and times
This enforcement notice was issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Miami, and published in the Federal Register on May 14, 2026; verify the original document for exact coordinates and any updates before adjusting marine plans.
