Spring promises to be full of wild times, but it is also important to keep in mind there are certain rules to follow to make sure that your break is enjoyable and safe. Florida State Law requires that you must be 21 to purchase, consume or possess alcoholic beverages. Most beach destinations are within walking distance or a short taxi ride away; don't endanger yourself or others by drinking and driving. Open alcoholic containers on public property including streets, sidewalks, or inside a vehicle is prohibited and a person of legal age cannot sell or provide alcoholic beverages to any person under age. Drinking alcoholic beverages on the beach is allowed as long as you are of age and the beverage is in a can or plastic container (glass containers are prohibited on the beach). By obeying the law you are sure to have a great time and avoid any unnecessary legal problems.
Although most Panama City Beach destinations are within walking distance, some of the beach's best hotels are located closer to popular restaurants, shops and clubs. The best way to enjoy your break is to plan your spring vacation early. Many of the best located hotels sell out, so book your VIP Party Package early to make sure you are in the hottest area of the beach. Remember life is a beach, make the most out of it!
