Authorities are cracking down on Spring Break with swimsuit bans and strict rules aimed at curbing rowdy behavior.

Alcohol is already banned in many spots, and police want to stop all the Spring Break fun. Towns are even policing what people wear; this aims to protect local residents’ feelings.
Myrtle Beach, SC, wants everyone to cover up, making thong bathing suits illegal. North Myrtle Beach also bans exposed buttocks, a rule shared by Horry County and Surfside Beach. Students could face problems for beach alcohol; littering and fires can cause trouble too.
Volusia Sheriff, Mike Chitwood, wants students gone because he believes they only bring problems. “We really don’t want you here,” he said, claiming they bring no money, just chaos. He stated that most arrested kids aren’t from Volusia County and come only to cause trouble.
Miami Beach sent a message last year, reinforcing it with a new campaign for 2025. Their ad depicts a disastrous Spring Break where college students find their trip a nightmare. The beach vacation turns chaotic fast, and strict rules ruin all the fun.
