Spring Break Will Be Heavily Regulated This Year In Miami & Fort Lauderdale

While corona's around, the party can't go down....... not the way it used to, anyway!

College students from all over the country will be greeted on South Florida beaches this year with a new type of spring break action following the 2020 pandemic. Both Miami-Dade and Broward county officials are working alongside the cities and local businesses to put in place rules and regulations that they hope will reduce the spread of the virus as tourists roll in by the hundreds.
