MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – If you're planning to head to Miami Beach during Memorial Day weekend, expect there to be a crowd.

An estimated 200,000 people are expected to flock to Ocean Drive over the weekend to soak up the sun, and drink.

"It's South Beach, what else do you do? You party," Vernon Harris, a tourist from Maryland, said.

This weekend party has a violent past, and even a deadly police-involved shooting in 2011.

"We have officers not only from Miami Beach, but from other outside agencies that come every year and they support our efforts," Officer Ernesto Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said officers are prepared to watch out for impaired party goers and drivers.

"We're going to have officers out on what we call a DUI saturation,” Rodriguez said. “They're not going to be at one specific checkpoint, they're going to be all throughout South Beach looking for you."

A month ago, the mob party known as Floatopia hit Miami Beach and left a mess behind, so this weekend certain items are banned on the beach, including large floatation devices, coolers and tents. Amplified music is also banned.

City Manager Jimmy Morales says these restrictions are necessary.

"What happens is that it gets so crowded out there, that (it hampers) our ability to see what's going on, to see if someone is having trouble," Morales said. "Then at the end of day, when the crowds leave, they often leave a huge mess."

For Leslie Luckett, a tourist from Virginia, Memorial Day weekend on Miami Beach is something to avoid altogether.

She plans to head home on Saturday.

"It's not really a good place to be here on the weekend, because it's going to get turned up, and we're kind of old school," Luckett said.
