If you're headed to Orange Beach for Spring Break, there are some new rules you will need to be aware of.
The Orange Beach Police Department put revelers on notice via the city website:
The Orange Beach Police Department welcomes all guests to the City of Orange Beach for Spring Break. Our city is a beautiful, family-oriented beach resort community.
