Earlier this year, Miami Beach announced strict measures for March, including increased police presence, barricades, and strict rules against open alcohol and loud music. Spring breakers remain unfazed.

“We’re like a toxic ex, you can’t break up with us,” said one man.

“We ain’t ever breaking up, we staying forever,” remarked tourist Cheyenne Orr.

The changes were announced in a video posted on social media by the city, which said it is officially “breaking up” with spring break. The abrupt move follows a series of violent incidents during past spring breaks, including two fatal shootings last year that led to a state of emergency and curfew.

Some visitors and locals see the strict measures as necessary but don't believe they will deter the influx of spring break revelers. “I like all the changes they have made. I come here every year around this time. I have a condo down the street, and it is just a crazy madhouse,” said a Miami Beach resident.
