Virginia Beach City Council voted unanimously this week to put a 7 p.m. curfew in place for unaccompanied minors at their Oceanfront area. The emergency measure kicks in this Friday, March 13th. Under the new rule, minors who aren't with a parent or guardian will need to be off the Oceanfront by 7 p.m. each evening. The council didn't provide details about what prompted the emergency curfew or how long it might stay in effect. While this affects our neighbors up the coast in Virginia Beach rather than the Outer Banks directly, it's worth noting since many OBX families visit the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, especially during spring break and summer months. If you're planning a trip north with teenagers, you'll want to factor this curfew into your evening plans.
