South Beach prioritizes safety over spring break profits

courant.com

Miami Beach has implemented stricter safety measures for spring break, resulting in quieter streets and fewer large crowds. Visitors appreciate the changes, but local businesses report a decline in sales as they prioritize safety over profits. Increased police presence, DUI checkpoints, and limited beach access are part of the city's crackdown. Some business owners acknowledge the need for these measures, while others express concern about the impact on their revenue. Despite the challenges, some restaurants, like Havana Beach, are thriving under the new rules. Others, like Cafe Americano, are experiencing significant drops in sales compared to last year.
