US-LEISURE-FLORIDA

Police patrol streets in South Beach, Florida, during this Spring Break weekend on March 8, 2024. Around this time of year college kids usually transform Miami Beach's main seaside drag into a huge street party, blocking traffic as they dance to thumping reggaeton music, drinking in public and otherwise living it up. But this time the US ritual known as Spring Break is a much more muted affair, as the city enacts strict new rules to stamp out raucous partying that has gotten out of control and even violent in recent years.
