Now in 2024, as a gig worker, I still say spring breakers are my favorite customers. I can count on one hand the amount of times they puked in my car, that is over a 4 year span. My goodness you eliminate the "drinking on the beach" you have very little trouble. Let's not kid ourselves, high school spring break has been much worse in recent days.
Spring break used to be truly amazing. I spent a spring break here ten years ago and never left, now I’m a local. Mopeds are gone, no drinking on the beach, beach is closed at night, it’s not the spring break it used to be that’s for sure. Without La Vela, spring break is dead
@@flyer5347 it's gotten like communist china around here. There's more things that you can't do than things you can. The most un-Florida like place in Florida. It's embarrassing. Our governor is on tv talking about how free Florida is, meanwhile the gestapo run around enforcing arbitrary whims of the government and dining those who won't comply. Did you know they close the beach in PCB? I don't mean the sand, I mean the ocean. They fine people for getting in the water when they say no. Doesn't matter if you're Michael Phelps or Aquaman, they think they own the sea. We used to have freedom here. We used to support small businesses here. But the petty tyrants came in from New York or some other liberal cesspool and regulated out the small businesses to make way for the towering condos and more Walmarts so their kickbacks from St Joe and GAC and ECS get fatter. For a town this small, we have far too many fbi investigations for corruption by politicians going on.
Yea their parents must be very proud of their childrens behavior after trashing Walmart last night and the bowling alley and causing lots of car crashes just yesterday alone.
As a young mother who has to live here, I agree. I could barely get to work that night without having a panic attack and wasting fuel in the process. I am glad my one year old was not in the car with me.
Being a local to Panama City Beach, I’m really happy to see the numbers of tourists dropping….. it’s finally beginning to feel like a home and not a bad party. For a long time many tourists would come here for the sole reason of getting hammered and wrecking everything they could…..it’s nice to see it turning into a more mature atmosphere.
Before we moved to this area I always heard of Panama City Beach as a wild party town, I thought it was like that year round. But we now live 1.5 hours away from PCB and we (wife and young kids) are there often, at least twice a month. It’s a very nice area and my kids love it. Much more family friendly than I was expecting. We happened to be there yesterday on a Saturday during spring break and didn’t really see too much rowdiness, just kids out enjoying their spring break. Riding down the road with their doors open and stuff like that. We got out of the more crowded areas though.
I’m down here right now, I got a ticket last night for having people in the back of my truck, I had people in the back of my truck 2 years ago and it was never a problem.
PCB will definitely suffer just like Fort Lauderdale did after running these spring breakers out of town. There’s always going to be the 10% who cause the problems, with any event that shows up here. Next you people will want to get rid of Thunder Beach, and the Gulf Coast Jam.
As a local in Panama City, the rules do truly help. Spring break the way it was years ago would impede with tons of daily tasks, traffic was crazy, and overall it was just a ridiculous time. I was too young to understand the magnitude of what was happening back in like 2015 but I know it’s so much better now.
So much $ gone…are you listening to your self…How do you think these shops and bars make $…The city makes $ off of taxes…spring break brought millions…People who love Destin or not going to panama….They will never be Destin.
@@kbeezy7417 these places still make plenty of money with the rules in place...especially during the summer time. Spring Break is better now and the local economy is not suffering whatsoever
Well, we were hit by a category 5 hurricane, considered possibly the strongest one to ever hit the United States, just a few years ago. We're still balls deep in debt as a county and as individuals trying to rebuild from that...
They made a huge mistake by trying to turn this into a resort town. I can only see that 15 years down the road there will be skyscrapers full of empty condos and half of the new construction will look like the old Flamingo pattern destroyed and in serious need of plc. The Spring Breakers were what made Panama City Beach into what it is and for them to just want to turn around take it away. Seems like they are looking a gift horse in the mouth while having their cake and eating it too, it really seems like something that will come back to bite him in the ass
1960 and 1970s Spring Breakers made this town. 1990s and 2000s Breakers, did just that, they Broke it. We have ALWAYS been a resort town. We are trying to get away from the garbage image that Girls Gone Wild gave us, because of dimwitted college twits.

Lol I remember me and my boys used to travel from NOLA to PCB every spring break for 3 years straight 2012-15, Lavela was open we made some of our best memories those years….before the dark times….before Adulthood
I remember going to panama city beach for spring break from Louisiana from 2008-2010 and it was the best time of my life even better then mardi gras. I remember club la vela and spinnaker, beach parties, hotel parties with hundreds of thousands. I am glad yall got to experience the tail end of all that.

@@fuzfireI was done with it when a girl was passed out on the beach being gang raped by 3 guys with 50 kids standing right there doing nothing to help. Go to mexico for spring break it might not be safe but neither are they soooo.
Now you're trying to promote spring break after the last few years of trying to run them off. No alcohol on the beach I'm sure has kept many from even coming here. East and west of here the beaches are packed.
People complain about the bad that comes with the spring breakers but without the $ spring break brought the city will suffer bad…Miami to party and Destin for the family…Panama has nothing
Good old Panama City Beach my home town. where they ask all the college kids to come down and have a great time and then arrest them, ticket them,put them on probation pretty much extort.
