Surfing Joins List of Palm Beach No-Nos

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Lawn mowing is banned on Sundays, noisy tennis ball machines are outlawed in the mornings and hanging laundry outside is forbidden.

So it’s no surprise that surfers are unwelcome in this posh seaside town.

“These are very undesirable people coming into town,” resident Alan Beal said.

After hearing his arguments, the City Council voted this week to ban parking along a street used by many out-of-town swimmers and surfers who are accused of littering, trespassing and disturbing the peace. Two other streets already have similar parking bans for non-residents.
