I wouldn't recommend it for only a day trip,its a long 5 hour journey there and 5 hours back.
We spent a few days in the Keys and drove back and spent a day in Miami,South Beach is stunning!!

Yes it's worth it but not for a day. It's quite a drive and an easy drive at that but I would recommend you stay a couple of nights.
South beach is amazing as is Ocean Drive and Miami is good for a boat trip just to see the stunning and beautiful houses out there.:d:

If you want to go to the beach and are staying in Orlando, try the west coast where you have a such a choice: st petes, madeira, treasure island or clearwater to name a few. Personally I would go to st petes beach, I have been to Miami a couple of times and the beaches are nowhere near as good. I found that the beaches on the west coast are a lot better and cleaner than those on the east.

We stayed 2 nights in Miami o Lincoln Road. It is a fabulous place, South Beach is beautiful, I ahve never seen water so clear ( and have been to Clearwater Beach) and warm. It is a fab place for people watching and I would highly recommend the Duck Tour and a trip to Bayside marketplace.
We loved it so much are hoping to go back for a week in 09.
