Police said alcohol-related offenses and arrests have gone down since the ordinance went into effect and large parties of young adults on the beach have given way to a more family-friendly atmosphere.
“When Panama City did their alcohol ban and we saw that shift of the party come to Gulf Shores that year…2016 and we implemented this alcohol ban, we saw immediate success and immediate transition the next year,” explained Grant Brown with the city of Gulf Shores.
Those who’ve lived in Gulf Shores through the transition have noticed a huge difference in the type of spring breaker coming to town now and are pleased the city continues to enforce the ban. “This is a good thing for us,” said Gulf Shores resident, John Beaman. “Just keeping things the way it is so nobody gets hurt. Good for Gulf Shores.”
The portion of beach where alcohol won’t be allowed is between the water and the sand dunes, stretching from the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge on the west to Gulf State Park on the east.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
