Bay County passed an ordinance this week that becomes effective July 1. In an effort to clean up the beach, the ordinance states that tents, umbrellas, chairs, etc., left on the beach outside the dune line between 9 PM and 5 AM will be considered trash and will be disposed of as trash. It goes on to say not to expect to recover the items. Enforcement is expected to begin July 1.
Summer concerts at Pier Park started this week and are expected to continue through the summer season.
