A Sunday sunrise over Miami Beach was worth waking up form signaling a brand-new day. <\/p>\n
For many enjoying the early views, it\u2019s not just any Sunday, it\u2019s the start of their spring break weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cOrlando, Albany, New York, Atlanta,\u201d said one of them. <\/p>\n
They chose Miami Beach as their reunion spot this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s super exciting,\u201d the sister said. \u201cIt\u2019s a highly anticipated weekend filled with so many plans once we get back home, and we\u2019re just happy to be here and spend time together.\u201d<\/p>\n
But for locals, this spring break feels a little different.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did expect more people,\u201d said resident Lajia Evans. \u201cI thought there would be way more going on, but it\u2019s just not a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some say that\u2019s because of the strict rules and enforcement city leaders have put in place over the past few years, after previous spring breaks brought massive crowds, violence, and even shootings.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiving right in the middle of things, you\u2019ve got to get around the blockades and stuff, but other than that, I think it\u2019s good,\u201d said resident Zach Allia. \u201cThe streets are quieter, there\u2019s not people yelling in the middle of the night, I like it. I can sleep through the night safe and sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
City leaders have also been pushing a different message, encouraging visitors to come for a more health and wellness-focused experience.<\/p>\n
