Keep the beaches beautiful!
The Holmes Beach Commissioners voted on September 15, 2022 to pass a ban on smoking in the city parks including the skate park and the dog park and as well on the beach.
The ban applies to filtered cigarettes or other filtered smoking items. The goal is to reduce environmental pollution and danger to wildlife created by discarded cigarette butts. The ban does not apply to the Manatee County Beach which is regulated by Manatee County.
Anna Maria City has a reading of a similar ordinance on their docket for their next meeting.
