Miami Beach Has Released a Commercial Aimed at Deterring Spring Breakers
Miami Beach has a simple message to spring breakers – we don’t want you. They made that point very clear in a commercial the official city account posted to Youtube. “You just want to get drunk in public and ignore laws… this isn’t safe, so, we’re done”
The commercial references the madness that went down in the Miami area last March during Spring Break. South Beach shootings left two people dead. Additionally, 573 arrests were made in Miami Beach.

Parking fees will shoot up into the neighborhood of $100. Restricted beach access, bag checks, and curfews will be put in place starting this weekend.
So Miami Beach has made it very clear that they no longer want Spring Break in their town. Will it work? We’ll find out soon. One thing to note, the man arrested for murder for one of last year’s shootings was from Fort Lauderdale, not an out of state partier.
If you recall, Fort Myers Beach was becoming more and more crazy until Hurricane Ian came through just as things were recovering from Covid. It’s definitely coming back, though. Lani Kai, the hub of Fort Myers Beach Spring Break shows that they are sold out for the entirety of Spring Break. So the people are coming. Their upscale neighbor, Diamondhead, shows rooms available.
if you’re looking to do a family friendly spring break, there are plenty of options available.
