Unofficial Beach
Rule Book
Ah, Mexico Beach, an unforgettable place where worries fade with the tide, and we trade the chaos of daily life for sunshine, salty breezes. and sandy feet. Sometimes we just want to kick our feet up and enjoy the moment, however before your day gets started there are some things to keep in mind.
Introducing the “Unofficial Beach Rule Book”: A collection of delightfully absurd rules designed purely for fun and laughs. These “rules” capture the fun side of a beach day encouraging everyone to embrace the joy of being by the water. Although we can laugh at these silly rules, there’s another set of guidelines that truly matter, our Beach Ordinances and laws, by adhering to them, it ensures the safety of everyone including our wildlife, while keeping Mexico Beach enjoyable for generations to come.
So, dive into the silliness of our Unofficial Rule Book and see how many you can (or can’t!) accomplish – but don’t forget to prioritize the real rules that help protect our community and environment. If you give any of our silly unofficial rules a try, be sure to tag us on Instagram and Facebook.
