MIAMI - As we head into another busy Spring Break weekend on Miami Beach, city officials say they will continue to limit certain alcohol sales and access in certain areas as they anticipate large crowds along Ocean Drive and neighboring streets in the city's South Beach neighborhood.

"The city remains focused on the safety of our residents, visitors, and businesses as our top priority," said Miami Beach City Manager Alina Hudak in a statement.

As a proactive safety measure, the city is banning the sale of any alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption, including delivery, from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m., starting on Thursday, March 23, through Monday, March 27. The measures will apply to all businesses within the area of Miami Beach bounded by 23 Street and Dade Boulevard on the north, Government Cut on the south, Biscayne Bay on the west, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east.
