[5] High-rise construction and commercial development are not permitted within the town limits.

In 1981, all but one of the roads into the town from A1A were closed as a means of preventing "criminals, curious tourists from nearby hotels, joggers and Haitian refugees" from entering Golden Beach. [6] The blockades remained and the Strand continues to be the only road into town and is still patrolled by a police guardhouse.
