Miami Beach gets 3h 13m more daylight on the longest day than the shortest. Sunset moves from 5:31 PM in December to 8:13 PM in June, so an evening shoot that works in summer will be shooting in the dark at the same clock time in winter.
Blue hour follows sunset and is worth planning for separately: in June it runs until about 8:39 PM, and in December until about 5:57 PM.
Golden hour is the period near sunrise and sunset when the sun is low. Blue hour occurs before sunrise and after sunset. Calculated times vary with location and date; weather, terrain and buildings can affect visible light.
