Attention all families planning a beach vacation! Starting March 1, a new curfew law will significantly impact your plans, especially if you're traveling with teens. The Florida 30A community of Seaside is implementing a 7 PM CST curfew for unaccompanied minors under 18 from March 1 through April 19, 2026. This rule is strategically timed to coincide with the Spring Break rush, aiming to maintain a safe and family-friendly environment. Seaside officials urge parents and guardians to accompany their children and teens during visits. The curfew is not a new concept for the area, according to Seaside's general manager, Kevin Boyle. He explains that this is a measure they've implemented in previous years to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for families. The goal is to encourage teens to 'reset with their families' at 7 PM, providing a range of evening activities like movie nights, music, and dining for those who stay together. However, this curfew has sparked debate. Some argue that it infringes on freedom and may not be necessary, while others support it as a proactive measure to prevent potential issues. What do you think? Will this curfew affect your beach vacation plans? Share your thoughts in the comments!
