MIAMI BEACH — On South Beach, where spring break is in full swing, and so are the changes.
When you ask tourists about Miami Beach, they say they can’t get enough of it.
“It’s vibrant, it’s alive, it’s so good,” said Cassandra Ropert.
“It’s all good vibes around here,” said Mario Dunbar.
“The vibe has been amazing! I mean the people are friendly, the food is really good,, and obviously as you can see behind me, the party never stops,” said Louis Waller.
For first time spring breakers, they say being here is a dream come true.
“Everything, it seems unreal,” said Kalieb Osborne.
So far, Miami Beach police have reported 35 spring break related arrests for Friday and Saturday.
But the tourists we spoke to say so far, everything has been under control.
“I feel totally safe I have to say. All week, no issues at all. People are really cool,” said Anne Ropert.
“It actually has been kind of calm, cause I’ve been to Miami Beach during spring break and that was in college so I know what the crowds look like then,” said Waller.
There are some things to keep in mind as spring break continues here in South Beach.
Sidewalk cafes on Ocean Drive will completely shut down during the second and third weekends of March.
The city is also increasing parking rates in the South Beach entertainment district to a $100 rate at city garages and lots.

A U.S. citizen who was a representative of a drone company doing business with the Israelis has been wounded in Israel, after the Hamas-aligned militant group Hezbollah fired missiles toward Israel, U.S. officials tell CBS News national security correspondent David Martin.
A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department confirmed that an American civilian was injured, but didn’t offer further details. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is assisting the injured American and the citizen’s family, the spokesperson said. The U.S. government has repeatedly urged Americans to stay away from the region because of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
“The department reminds U.S. citizens of the continued need for caution and increased personal security awareness throughout Israel and the West Bank, as security incidents often take place without warning,” the State Department spokesperson also said.
Fears about the possibility of war between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah have grown after an Israeli airstrike killed a senior Hezbollah commander last Wednesday. Israel said the commander, Mohammad Naameh Nasser, was responsible for firing rockets into Israel. Hezbollah responded with another barrage of rocket fire. Like Hamas, Hezbollah is backed by Iran but is believed to be larger and better armed.
