How many days
One day for Mizner Park, the museum, and the beach; two days to add Gumbo Limbo and Morikami.
When to go
Winter, from December to April, usually has dry and mild weather. From May to October heat and humidity increase, with afternoon rains. Sea turtles nest on the beaches from March to October. Hurricane season runs from June to November.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Very helpful: Morikami, Gumbo Limbo, and the beaches are spread out. From downtown the beach is a few kilometers away, and there are rideshare apps.
