Panama City Beach Bans Alcohol On The Beach During Spring Break

Panama City Beach is shedding its image as the ultimate spring break destination in Florida — starting with a new ordinance banning alcohol on beaches, to commence next year.

In a special meeting held at the Arnold High School auditorium on Tuesday night, the five members of the Panama City Beach council voted unanimously to approve Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen's proposal to prohibit alcohol consumption on the beach during spring break. The council identified spring break as the entire month of March — although two members wanted to include the end of February and the beginning of April into the ban period.
