What is the fine for smoking on the beach in Florida?

Violators could be fined up to $100 for the first infraction, and $200 to $500 for further violations, according to the governments' ordinances. Repeat violators could face up to 60 days in jail. Unfiltered cigars, however, are not covered by the ban.
