Further north in Hollywood Beach, the crowds were out in full force despite coronavirus concerns.

Elsewhere, another busy Spring Break location, Gulfstream Park, held Saturday's scheduled horse racing schedule, with one minor difference.

The stands were empty.

Horse racing fans can still watch and place their bets on races, but they’ll have to see who crosses the finish line on TV or an app.
