Just about anything they can think of. Year after year, more rules for
things you can't do. Go to the oceanfront and there are many rules for
bike riding, skating, skateboards, carrying radios turned on, clothes
you can't wear. No unleashed dogs now (contrary to what c-shenk said).
Actually, no pets of any kind allowed. No walking with a snake around
your neck. lol. No surfing in many areas, no swimming in high surf. Even
in the surfing areas, no surfing in high surf. The best surfing days and
we are not allowed to surf. Those idiots. We always ignored that one.
Police would eventually show up and whistle us out of the water. We just
waved and kept surfing. Eventually the cop would give up and go away.
Seriously Cindy, the restrictions are insane. There are many more that I
can't think of right now.
That
VB website's list of restrictions was just the tip of the iceberg.
The "no horses on the beach" was a funny one.
They even have some old laws that are still in effect although rarely
enforced. The "Hairy Man Act" is good. No man with chest hair is
allowed anywhere except on the sand beach without putting a shirt on.
