Spring break marched on in Miami Beach Saturday, but with little of the historical fanfare residents and tourists expect. What is considered the city’s second “peak weekend” of the holiday felt far from deserving of the “peak” tag — small crowds, sparing music and more locals.

As Miami Beach readies for the busiest weekends of spring break, several new rules are going into effect to help maintain a safe atmosphere. It's a project two years in the making in which city officials have made it clear that raucous behavior will not be tolerated and those caught breaking the law will go to jail.

Florida police on Friday dispersed a "large, non-permitted spring break gathering" on Sunny Isles Beach, a vacation destination north of Miami and south of Fort Lauderdale.
