Back in March, thousands of San Diegons (still don't know if Ron Burgundy was right with that one) participated in what is now known as Floatopia. This awesome event took place because back in 2007 lawmakers imposed a one year ban on drinking on the beach in an effort to clean up beaches and cut down on public intoxication, etc. One year later, the city voted on the ban and it is now a law. The law states that nobody is allowed to drink on the beach, but nothing was said about being in the water. Some 6,000 people armed with floats, awesomeness and tons of canned domestic beverages showed up to celebrate this loophole in the law. Police arrested a couple dozen people for public intoxication and EMTs treated several others but other than than Floatopia went off without a hitch. Apparently nothing has been done about the law as of yet and people are still enjoying the loophole.
I still haven't been to this magical place yet but I plan on going. I have been to Seacrets in Ocean City, and anyone who has been there knows that it's pretty similar to this scene in Diego, but I think it's still worth a look.
